Sentimental
Nothing diverging, but a comfortable familiarity across these three/four – as one would expect – and significantly better than the pretenders. Ralph Molina’s It’s Magical is a sweetness, harmonies reminding; Neil Young’s live acoustic Song of the Seasons (from Barn) is as nostalgic as it is meant to be, looking back and remembering, slotting into the album’s embrace with ease. Billy Talbot’s Cherish enters on a wave of fuzz, his vocal rasp on memory and thankfulness hopeful in its evocation of the moon; Nils Lofgren’s Fill My Cup adds a little acoustic guitar funkiness in the mix, another touchstone vocal reassuring us older ones, and the gentle harmonies playful in the punchier rhythms. A lovely album in the full sense of that sentiment.
