There's a dead simplicity to these country-folk-flavored songs - fundamental structures that do nothing but make simple, bluesey rotations on fundamental sentiments (I got drunk, if you're sad sing about it) with almost no embellishment lyrically or otherwise. But there's none of that fire and actual feeling I associate with the blues, its all a bit casual and overtwangy. This is "things're ok" blues, and I sure can't find the point.
The production is almost too perfect, with every little nuanced captured, but the songs are so so simple that it's just dead boring on a per-song and album-long level both 2/5
