Gentle Pedal
This is a collection of EPs, or simply a collection across time of this haunting ambient country, which I first heard and reviewed then here.
This continuance is graced yet again by the pedal steel, but also all the other instrumentation, like simple acoustic guitar on That Good Night which strums in and out of the echoing, a sound that one visualises across a scenic expanse of that sound. A banjo joins later.
There are many emotions prompted across this collection's 21 tracks, but above all it is the soothing that swells over my aural landscape. I should qualify that in referencing the plaintive too, and this is a reflection of loss as with a founding member who recently passed - and it includes the more ruminative intentions of the music as it arcs across our troubled times.
