Recorded and produced in Chicago by Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy at his hometown recording studio The Loft, Kacy & Clayton’s latest is very much a swinging full band affair, seeing the millennial acoustic folk duo from rural Wood Mountain, Saskatchewan beefed up this time around by the rock steady rhythm section of Mike Silverman and Shuyler Jansen on drums and bass respectively. Their third album in four years, Tweedy’s production expertly captures the loose and easy essence of the Kacy Clayton Band throughout, preferring to record all four musicians live off the floor as opposed to overdubbing them seperately. A real gem, fans of vintage ‘60’s folk music and the glory days of British folk-rock will revel in this record.
Rating 9/10
