Tex Perkins & The Dark Horses "Tex Perkins & The Dark Horses" 2011

The forthcoming self-titled release shows yet another direction for the enigmatic singer / songwriter, while still filled with Perkins' gravel-tainted vocals and poetic reveries, this record is a mature, poignant follow up to 2003's "Sweet Nothing" - amazonI bought this CD because I'm a fan to begin with. The CD contains introspective songs with interesting instrumentation, in that there's cello and lapsteel guitar that adds color to the music. Some of the songs caught my attention right away; while the rest continue to grow on me as I listen. Tex Perkins did a Johnny Cash tribute band film in Australia, and although this music is not like Johnny Cash per se, there is a somber, troubadour-like element to the music. - HarpTalk Galtrax:
