On album number three Langhorne Slim still does his thing. What that thing is then ? Well, he dabbles in folky songs, the kind that Guthrie and Dylan like to play as well.
While he doesn’t have any classics to his name just yet, Langhorne Slim knows how to write pretty and uncomplicated songs. The same can be said for his lyrics and while I doubt he’ll win any Pullitzers for lines like ‘what’s happened has happened, what will be we’ll see’, I like the sheer simplicity and honesty of it all.
His songs are folk songs at heart with an added pop sheen and frizzled up by the rest of the band with Wurlitzer, farfisa, flugelhorn and some pedal steel guitar among many, many other things. It makes for a fun album at the very least !
Score : 7 out of 10
