Still pretty similar overall but def more country, more playful, really vivid lyrics, amazing song structures. Can’t recommend him enough!
Lyrics for the new track are unsurprisingly amazing. I believe this is mostly right Go down to Logantown, look up Ruby Bates Don’t call the police, they won’t help none Two tons of turtle doves from out of state Just tell her I sent you for the discount rate My man with a moving van’s looking for a job to do He’ll work for cheap, but he’ll change you Blue eye on the left hand side, hazel on the right He’ll cut right through with a second sight But I’d work for free And love is all I need Yes I’d work for free Cuz love is all i need Oh no my swimming hole is full of turpentine It’s raining mud from a bad sky I can help you clean this up but I don’t think I’m qualified We need to find someone who can purify But if you have a need of which you can’t describe A feeling of a third kind That’s my specialty, that’s easy We could draw up the plans of a new design And I’ll work for free Cuz love is all I need Yes I’d work for free And love is all I need
telling you, man, if you haven’t gotten there already that first buck solo record is like...stupid good
Just about there on Pareidolia if anybody wants to assist Pareidolia with your head upon my lap on the buffalo grass The clouds are moving fast, Sippy, tell me what you see Maybe it’s a baby, or maybe it’s a cottonmouth swallowing its tail Well, that one looks like Lady Guadalupe with an airplane in her hair It’s paradise, the sun is just aglow, though, shade your eyes Well, there goes a phoenix with the last light Baby it’s an omen, let’s fly to Puertecitos where the fire turns to sand I’ve seen ‘em burning statues of the virgin by the roadside Remember the time you snuck in through the bathroom window and waited for me there? Well, hidden in the shower for an hour When I went to hit the tub, I found you wrapped in linens like a ghost Well, my heart froze, I fainted "Fold me a rose with that Holiday napkin on the floor" It’s payment for your fortunes, I’ve predicted Well, you said “Bite me, hell no! You’re lucky I don’t fold you, boy.” Pareidolia with your head upon my lap on the buffalo grass The clouds are moving fast, Sippy, tell me what you see

new song Candle i believe he said at a show that Adrianne sent him the first verse and then he wrote the rest around that
Yeah this is awesome, I had high expectations and it's way surpassing them. I love the blue/hazel eye lyric on a couple songs, I wonder what's the story there
I thought this might be a bit too twangy for me at first, but it's really solid all around. Can't believe we got an Adrianne record last year, a James record last year, a Buck record this year, and probably (at least one) Big Thief record to come this year. This bands output is unreal, I love it. They really keep us fed.
