John Moreland - High on Tulsa Heat - VINYL LP

Tracks including InchHang Me in the Tulsa County Stars,Inch InchHeart's Too Heavy,Inch and InchCleveland County BluesInch set the tone, trafficking in relentless honesty and folk. Buoyant lament InchSad Baptist RainInch tackles internal conflict. If InchSad Baptist RainInch is about self-acceptance, InchWhite FlagInch warns of self-destruction. InchAmerican Flags in Black and White,Inch grapples with nostalgia, and while Moreland initially seems to condemn it, he ends up acknowledging it's comfort, framing the past as everyone's guilty pleasure. The album also includes the first recording of live show staple InchCherokee.Inch Based on a vivid dream, the song explores longing, shame, forgiveness, and love. Album Tracks 1.
