Description
This record is called "An Honest Effort". You'll find stories on this album about
folks trying. In the face of unfavorable odds, with seemingly certain unfavorable outcomes, they give it a good go. Results vary, but all of them are better off for the attempt.
Matt is a singer and songwriter first. He values simplicity, but also loves to
incorporate the small details that bring a story to life, and make it relatable.
Though his songs aren't devoid of metaphor, you'll not be left guessing about
what the song is about when you're done listening.
Like all Black Hen releases, this record is full of fine musicians making good
sounds. Steve Dawson plays the guitar, pedal steel and Weissenborn,
painting musical pictures that are a great counterpoint to the lyrics. Jeremy
Holmes adds such fantastic groove, touch and taste on the bass and
mandolin. Rock solid Gary Craig lends wonderfully inventive percussion. Keri
Latimer's tuneful and airy voice is a great foil to Matt's earthy one. Fats
Kaplin contributes wizardry on fiddle, ukelele, banjo and harmonica.
With the musical talent that surrounds the songs on this record, heartfelt
vocals, and inventive yet relatable subject matter, this is Matt's best record to
date. -
