Albums of the Year # 83 Kevin Morby - More Photographs ( A Continuum)

 


Another album from Kevin Morby. You are kidding me right! That man is so prolific I feel sorry for the rest sometimes,. I also feel he should stop. Give the poor listener a break, time to reflect before rushing on to the next. 

But really Kevin is the one who's on script while others are failing it. He's only running at the pace that musicians used to run out back in the day when everybody worked on frantic schedules like this. Write a set of songs, rehearse it, record it, release it, tour it like fury then back to the writing. Utterly unrelenting, because that's what you had to do.

Anyhow, it's another good one. Photographs II (A Continuum). His album from last year was called A Photograph. It's a fine record from a true artist. One who can channel, Dylan, Cohen, Cash, or even Bobby Womack if he chooses.

Photographs II is a record that takes its time. A reflective album. As often with Morby it seems concerned with legacy. With honouring and holding the past up to the light. It's admirable really that he puts out so much stuff. So much really great stuff.
