It seems that the older I get, the more I appreciate country music, or at least elements of it. Five years ago I wouldn’t have gone near anything with a twang in it, now I’m listening to singer-songwriters lamenting about lost love and never forming a bluegrass band. At this rate, I’ll be in cowboy boots by the time I’m thirty, and believe me, that would not be a good thing.
McCarthy Trenching a one man band from Omaha, Nebraska, meaning he is signed to one of Conor Oberst’s labels. I’m pretty sure that guy has some kind of racket going out there. Does anyone know a band from Omaha that is signed to a label other than Team Love or Saddle Creek? It doesn’t matter who releases McCarthy Trenching though. I’m just happy that someone did. Gently strummed, thoughtful, with a voice that would make reciting the phone book sound interesting. Perfect music for thinking things over far too much at two in the morning really.
