Heart Like a Levee

On his sixth album as Hiss Golden Messenger, M.C. Taylor's lifelong theme remains intact: What happens when you feel a distance from the thing that’s meant to sustain you?

Heart Like A Levee finds Hiss Golden Messenger inching ever close to claiming their rightful place among the ranks of the Great American Music that informs and inspires the band's songwriting and presentation.

DC Taylor’s new album saves many of its treasures for the final stretch.

On 2014's Lateness of Dancers, M.C. Taylor's Hiss Golden Messenger embraced a more blues- and gospel-oriented sound without leaving behind their trademark folk-inspired Americana.
