Spit Storytelling
Aged 53, this is David Corley’s debut album, and the folk-rock
songs have, not surprisingly, a weathered sound and content with ruminations
on real and imagined life that would seem to have been lived through
considerable introspection. His singing is a grizzled cross between Mark Lanegan
and Tony Joe White, and there is a rawish tinge to their performance/production
that may come with the confidence of having lived in them for some time. More
spit than polish. These are accompanied with the similar loose but fresh vocal
support and harmonies of Kate Fenner and Sarah McDermott. It is storytelling
with the kind of edge that makes it real.
