Eric Corne’s new album is a patchwork of Americana; drawing on Folk, Blues and Rock n’ Roll with tinges of Altcountry. Lyrically, it’s a poetic indictment of a world destined to repeat its past mistakes; careening into a second gilded age, numbed by new technologies and the false hope of materialism. Notable guests include Walter Trout, Freddy Koella (Bob Dylan, k.d. lang), Bo Koster (My Morning Jacket), Joe Karnes (Fitz & the Tantrums), Nick Luca (Calexico, Iron & Wine), Doug Pettibone (Lucinda Williams), Skip Edwards (Dwight Yoakam), Blair Sinta (Alanis Morissette, James Blunt), Matt Tecu (Cat Power, Jakob Dylan) and two mainstays of Corne’s productions, guitarist Eamon Ryland (Happy Mondays) and keyboardist Sasha Smith (Jesca Hoop) who shine throughout.
