Product DescriptionNew songs that definitely expand his vocabulary away from Americana and into Classic Rock. There are plenty of solid tunes all peeking their heads through the band's established not so hard-rock sound. Mellow intimate tunes, amp to 11 anthems alike and plenty of subversive elements that split the difference. Not unlike Sergio Leone, Ennio Morricone and Alejandro Jodorowsky, Bravo Johnson's explicit employment of reflexive genre cliches in Rider and again in Bird evoke themes, characters and settings of Americana, divorcing these elements from their ideological base and shifting the spotlight to illuminate some of the metaphysical and phenomenological furniture of modern life
