Hiss Golden Messenger - Quietly Blowing It - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2021 . Quietly Blowing It is an intimate and introspective offering that finds M.C. Taylor ruminating on themes of growing up, alienation, obligation, hope, purpose, family, class, self-discovery, healing, and rebuilding, fashioned with impressionistic tones. He says the record Inchfeels like the most personal album that I've made because I'm not trying to explain anything to anyone except myself.Inch Taylor reckons with these turbulent times in deeply personal terms and seeks to inspire listeners to do the same. Musically, the new songs are steeped in gospel, Southern soul, indie folk, and alt-country with tinges of blues, rock, and jazz influences running throughout. Highlights include the minimalist R&B of InchIt Will If We Let It,Inch the rolling country groove of InchThe Great Mystifier,Inch and the heartfelt, smoky lament of InchPainting HousesInch (co-written with Gregory Alan Isakov). Quietly Blowing It features special guests that include Griffin and Taylor Goldsmith of Dawes, Zach Williams of The Lone Bellow, Nashville guitar great Buddy Miller, and producer/musician Josh Kaufman of Bonny Light Horseman.
