On Episode 110, I am joined by Texas singer-songwriter Jonathan Terrell. Terrell's upcoming album, the American West-influenced Westward (out August 21) dominates the conversation as Terrell and I discuss at length the writing, inspiration, recording, etc of the excellent album. Terrell blends a richness of soft hues and delicate, vibrant pastels of the desert floor and setting sun with the intensity, chill, and darkness of the open night sky. His vignettes are cinematic and come in like fever dreams as they warm themselves up by the campfire or stove. Terrell's rasp draws you in during these intimate stories where he explores rebirth, lonesomeness, heartache, and moving on. Still, he let's loose for open road freedom and bottles up that rush and rhythm of rubber meeting asphalt. Undoubtedly, Westward is one of the cherished gems of 2020.
