Tom Brosseau - Cavalier [Fat Cat Records - 2007]

Cavalier is the second album from USA folk singer Tom Brosseau & it’s an album that's lyrically rich and wordy deeply sunk in Americana, hopeless and wonder. Musically his memorable and warm song craft is played out by strong sounding acoustic strums embellished here and there with organ & piano work, slide guitar &  subdued drum tracks. I guess it's best described as up-beat folk, blues and grown-up tunefulness.

When I first heard Mr Brosseau voice it brought to mind the rich unchained  melodic wonder of Marc Boland( of T-rex) but with of course an American current running through it- swept and sunbeaterned by the Continent changing season and personality.  The songs are honest to goodness rich in melodic and atmospheric air- having a timeless quality with none of the more quirky experimental edges of more modern folk. His literary and descriptive lyrics  fall with such ease and honesty, it  feels like your following Brosseau on a trip across of the American of the past either by foot, on a stolen train ride or in the back of over crowded and hay strewn pick-up truck .

An enjoyable, melodic and immaculately played  40 minutes of  American folk richly ribbed with Brosseau wonderful voice. It’s an album you want to travel through again and again.
