Kurt's 2011 album "Smoke Ring for My Halo" was a critically lauded album that strayed away from his earlier lo-fi fuzztone roots. The songwriting was first rate and his vocals gained an introspective edge that along with higher production values, all the praise was well deserved. Now what to do about a follow-up?
"Wakin' On a Pretty Daze" continues much in the same vein but much more stretched out (and even more introspective?). Laconic vocals with a "I'm not in much of a hurry" attitude. A lot of country comes through here but his garage roots aren't hidden either. Again, the production is top rate. And if you listen closely this guy is actually saying something worth considering.
This may top his previous album...it's that good.
