Another Country 2

0 - Default Title
Description
If you re aware of the first critically acclaimed Another Country, you ll already know that some of the finest, most affecting songwriting of our era is emerging from a landscape still recognizably Country , albeit one without too many blonde-wigged chanteuses and still fewer Stetson hats . Another Country 2 takes us deeper into the heartland of American Alt. Country a place of otherworldly harmonies, stripped-down arrangements, plangent guitars, clanking banjos and a short-story anthology s-worth of intriguing narratives. Not one artist here emanates from Nashville, though the rest of the country is well represented. There are beautiful, harmony-laced porch hymnals from New York s elegantly melodious Cub Country and Georgia s disarmingly intimate Azure Ray. There s heart-swelling, arcane boogie from Brooklynites The Boggs and died-in-the-wool Southerners Iron & Wine. Elsewhere, Arizonan legends Giant Sand chip in with a slice of beauteous desert-flecked country rock, while North Carolina s superstar-elect Ryan Adams and Austin s bucolic troubadours Okkervil River tip their feed caps toward Dylanesque folk-rock. Another Country 2 showcases country music, then, but not so as you d notice. These are songs that, irrespective of genre, you ll simply want to inhabit. Like a tumbledown cottage or a beloved pair of boots; they have a lived-in charm that s truly beguiling.
