Angels and Alcohol

Unhurried neotraditional country. Weathered baritone vocals meet weeping pedal steel for a collection of songs about faith, failure, and home.

July 17, 2015 · EMI Records Nashville

A dignified and slightly weary reflection on life's vices and virtues, delivered with a steady hand.

Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's devastatingly simple metaphor where the pedal steel mimics a heavy sigh.
The upbeat, rhythmic shuffle of Jim and Jack and Hank providing a rare moment of defiant levity.
The five-minute opening epic You Can Always Come Home featuring a particularly tender, unhurried vocal performance.
