Review by Johnny Loftus
Agenda delves deeper into lonely-road
melancholia and the alt.country bramble
thicket on this, the second volume of its
Another Country series. The English
release only includes artists from North
America. But the title is also a
reference to the music's very nature.
From the plaintive mandolin and bruised
heart vocals of Okkervil River's
"Westfall," to the tense stillness that
defines contributions from Damien Jurado
("Abilene") and Songs: Ohia ("Steve
Albini's Blues"), this set is more about
the imagery, shadows, and moods of the
country that is America. (Its stark
duo-tone photography illustrates this.)
The incredible "Rooster Moans" is here,
taken from Iron & Wine's The Creek Drank
the Cradle. It's joined by the more
conventional alt.country ramble of
Richard Buckner, Giant Sand, and ù of
course ù Ryan Adams. Azure Ray
("November"), Hope Sandoval ("Clear
Day"), and Black Heart Procession (the
Camper Van Beethoven-ish "Sign in the
Road") don't rely as much on the
Americana backdrop, but they're still
living with an eye toward that darkness
in the pines. Another Country, Vol. 2 is
a solid pickup for any explorers of the
varying tributaries and two-tracks of
21st century country insurgency.
Retail As Always!! Enjoy!
