Release Notes:
--------
Taking its name from acclaimed Western novelist Louis L'Amour's memoir,
Education of a Wandering Man finds Lone Star State troubadours Jonathan Clay and
Zach Chance delivering another slick and soulful set of T-crossing and I-dotting
Texas Americana. Bigger, brighter, and more musically adventurous than 2014's
largely bucolic Utah, Education of a Wandering Man barrels out of the gate with
two of its most infectious cuts, the punchy, blues-bent "Company Man" and the
rousing, radio-ready single "Love Is a Burden." Echoes of past dalliances with
breezy, Eagles-esque sunset-pop surface on the easy riding "Journeyman," and the
slow-burn country-folk of "American Dream" and "Almost All the Time" support the
duo's well-documented Everly Brothers obsession, but Clay and Chance seem to
have made the jump from small-town bards to big-city players with great aplomb.
Their forays into Motown ("Midnight Hour"), red dirt country ("Back to Austin"),
and twangy, Mavericks-esque retro-pop ("Done Mr. Wrong") fall right in line,
commercially speaking, with their more traditional offerings -- the sweet,
straight up waltz "Always Been Wild" is a mid-album gem -- resulting in
something that feels both shiny and new and unmistakably familiar.
