One of the best of 2006

"From the gorgeous opening , Distant Shore, a soldier's elagaic lament, to the title track, an epic tale of madness and mayhem, to the beautiful yet haunting Flying Low, the sixth album by the enigmatically named Willard Grant Conspiracy is by far their most accomplished album, and one of the two or three best albums of 2006. It's that good. Though leader Robert Fischer's influences seem hard to pinpoint, and rather obscure; his visions of a gothic americana almost Faulknerian in its sweep, the music is as accesible as any of the best Americana, or Alt-Country , though those labels don't do justice to the originality of it's conception. I can't recommend Let it Roll any more enthusiastically. Criminally unreleased in their own country, it is worth seeking out.
