Holy crapturd, I love it when a band seemingly appears from out of nowhere and blows my ass out of the water with their beautiful songs! Well, count Tennessee’s The Glass as one of the few who have done that. They play what I like to call “cosmic country” – a stupid name, sure, but meant to indicate those who play that odd mix of spacey, psychedelic sounds with traditional slide guitar and country-style vocals. Other than The Glass, groups who fall under this moniker are Canyon, Holopaw, My Morning Jacket, and even some of Jay Farrar’s more recent output. I can’t recommend this release any more highly.
