Lead Performance: Paul Burch; Genre: Country/Bluegrass
B+
Burch, whose elegant brand of old-time country has made him a modern-day Jimmie Rodgers, attempts a bold experiment: a song cycle inspired by the characters of Tony Earley's novel Jim the Boy. While the lyrics sometimes seem thin, the music -- spare honky-tonk, harmonica shuffles, and '30s-style jazz, wrapped in a Dylan-meets-Roy Acuff sensibility -- can be remarkably transcendent. B+
