Never been much of a Joe Henry guy -- too rooted in the blues for my taste. But I have to admit, there's a lot to like from his latest effort, Civilians. He comes across like a tired soul, grateful for the end of the day, mustering the courage to face the next one but embracing life's struggles.
This album actually reminded me a lot of Dylan's "Time out of Mind," and Henry's vocal stylings are similar to the Bard of the Iron Range. If you're into downloading singles, check out "Time is a Lion" first, then "Civil War" or "Our Song." And if you dig those, get the whole thing. But make sure to read my review first.
