Description:

A new album by Austin, Texas-based singer-songwriter Alex Dupree. Inspired by Hank Williamss remark that writing songs is like talking to a dog, this album is a mid-career masterpiece in which Dupreewho has pursued his unique songwriting style for over 20 yearshas found the ideal band, chords, and arrangements, lending rich color and depth to his musical vision. While inheriting the spirit of psychedelic folk and Americana from artists such as Jim Sullivan, Gene Clark, and David Crosby, it fuses a contemporary poetic sensibility reminiscent of Cass McCombs and Bill Callahan. With songs that possess both a dreamlike expansiveness and the raw, dynamic energy of a live band, this album presents new possibilities for outsider folk.
