J. Allen - "Bring Her Back Home" b/w "L.B.C."

Brooklyn shouldn't be known for country-folk, but it might be after listening to the new release from J. Allen. "Bring Her Back" home is absolutely brilliant without breaking new ground. Allen shows the vulnerability of Vic Chesnutt (which I don't say lightly) but skewing more towards the center. It's the rare release that can satisfy fans of Dylan, Jason Isbell, and Of Monsters and Men. "Fall Out of Love" is a simple epic that brings back memories of southern school damces in the 60s I can't possibly have. Do yourself a favor and check out this release.
