Suppose back in 1971 that Neil Young and John Fogerty decided to put out a record together. It certainly would have been one of the best records of the year. That never happened, but Israel Nash Gripka‘s new record, Barn Doors and Concrete Floors certainly sounds like that pairing and is in the running for many best of the year lists. And don’t just take my word for it. Kelly Dearmore of Twangville.com says :
Simply put: It’s as close to a perfect folk-y country-rock record as your likely to hear all freaking year long. Sweeping and lush, there really isn’t one track on here worth skipping. Not even close.
Here is the video to Goodbye Ghost, an atmospheric song from Barn Doors and Concrete Floors.
