For those of you who have followed the stellar career of the 77's and/or the solo releases by front man Michael Roe, have hopefully already ordered your copy of his latest solo effort. In essence this release is like a part two release to the latest 77's releases, Holy Ghost Building
.
Holy Ghost Building
was a very big departure from the typical 77's sound, and found the band tackling a very old gospel style, very similar to the feeling of the soundtrack from
O Brother, Where Are Thou?
as far as being a recreation of very old tunes with a deep bluesy southern feel to them. While that 77's album was a most excellent release, I think this new solo release has taken it a huge step forward.
