I’ve always had a soft spot for the pedal steel guitar, and this album is chock full of it. Parker & Lily sound like Damon & Naomi or Low or Sappington in their approach to minimal, mellow rock music, but with a slight country tinge. So perhaps an even better comparison would be My Morning Jacket at their mellowest, like on that solo Jim James disc that accompanied some copies of “At Dawn”. This is a pretty damn good record, very relaxing…makes me wish I was sitting in a field on a sunny day drifting off into a nap, hoping a squirrel doesn’t crawl up my pants leg or that birds don’t fly over and poop on me.
