Joe Henry - Invisible Hour
Invisible Hour has to be one of the most honest and beautiful records to be released in 2014! Joe Henry has been around for a long time now, as evidenced by this album being his 13th studio recording. However, in his own words, he feels that this album "stands as a defining moment for me personally and as an artist". Like alot of his previous albums, as well as his many productions, the sound of the album is really warm and sounds like he's almost in the same room as you. There's also an honesty to his lyrics that you don't find on many other current recordings. Songs such as Sparrow, Grave Angels and in particular the final tune, Slide show this in spades. The playing on the album is really beautiful too and there's also appearances from Lisa Hannigan and The Milk Carton Kids. For fans of really good songwriting and thoughtful lyrics, this album is for you!
