Tobin Sprout Empty Horses

Description

Artist, illustrator, writer and lo-fi innovator, Tobin Sprout was the super-productive partner of Robert Pollard in the legendary Guided By Voices. The gifted songwriter returns with a pensive, expansive part autobiographical new album Empty Horses. Here hes part Townes Van Zandt, part John Prine, part Robbie Robertson at his retrospective best. The album is a meticulously observed study of America and Americana (not the music, but the state of mind). An alternative American Songbook, if you will, a collection of laments to simpler times and the struggle for whats right, peppered with an examination of faith and the search for a sense of justice. Close up and personal, Empty Horses is a poignant carefully etched experience, a rolling journey in modern times, nodding back to tradition, a personal snapshot filled with honesty. Empty Horses is released on vinyl LP and also a deluxe bookback CD, beautifully packed with 24 pagesSide A 1 Wings Prelude 2 The Return 3 Breaking Down 4 On Golden Rivers 5 The Man I Used to Know Side B 6 Every Sweet Soul 7 Empty Horses 8 Antietam 9 All In My Sleep 10 No Shame
