This Kentucky-born singer-songwriter is a quester, intrigued by the metaphysics of spiritual experience and wondering aloud if the Bible and a handful of 'shrooms will lead you to the same religious epiphany. Regardless, there are no extraneous sounds or ideas on his new album, nothing that’s not battened down to a carefully structured set of lyrics and melodies.
