True Green's Hail Disaster is that rare thing. A dappled and consistently revealingmodern album that presents fresh territory to explore at every turn without having inhibiting influential sources . Minneapolis novelist and musician Dan Hornsby works melodic guitar, drum bass and keyboard as his basic ingredients, the human condition as his terrain but sets forth from there with ceaseless invention, curiosity and wit.
Hornsby owes something to the likes of David Berman, Neil Young and Jeff Tweedy. But he marks out fresh territory that is fresh and rewarding listening His songs are mournful and world weary occasionally. Most of all he loves language and the sacred lanes that can be plotted through the forest.
