Langhorne Slim - RestlessAlbum: Langhorne Slim [2008]
something of a one-man mixture of beck's early indie records and the soundtrack of "o brother where art though", singer/guitarist langhorne slim offers a modern take on traditional folk, country, and blue. a pennsylvania native, he released his first EP, "electric love letter", in march 2004. with his high, nasally voice and predilection for warm country-inspired chords, it's easy to compare langhorne slim to neil young, but his tendency to sing long, run-on, and often non-rhyming sentences in fact puts him nearer to the bob dylan school of performance. "restless", from his self-titled 2008 album, is completely engaging and introspective. it's a classic case of a straight-up folk song that excels by not being overly complex. the instruments serve their purpose by providing a suitable background and complement to the vocals.
