Barns Courtney – Golden Dandelions
Courtney is an epic, new artist because he is fraught with sensibility, style, and sensitivity. You zero in on his graveled voice as he shovels emotion the same way you would mud and soot from your drive-way. He is both fascinated and forward in how he has thrusted his soul to climb upwards while feeling consistently knocked down. Tracks like, “Hellfire”, “Hobo Rocket”, and “Rather Die” are writhe in the his history of family turmoil, bad record industry deals, homelessness, serendipitous meetings with movie moguls and sheer talent. Courtney has met some of the greatest and lowest people you can meet, which is something we can all say. Everyone has a list of those who left a bad taste in their mouth, and those who left a sweet one. “Glitter & Gold”, “Golden Dandelions” and “Never Let You Down” show the struggle to see, feel, and protect true love. When you have big dreams for yourself, relationships can feel doubled in unclarity. When all you do is see your name in light, it is not easy to witness who actually wishes you the same. As a lyricist, Courtney captures this dichotomy beautifully, and makes tracks like “Fire” and “The Attractions of Youth” feel frolicked in wisdom and winding chords. No matter how big instrumentals grow behind him, the only relationship that matters Is the one between him and his guitar. His voice and that stringed, melodic magic of an instrument are the keys to the rich soul he has to offer listeners.
Barns Courtney – Fire
I could be tempted to say Barns Courtney is an infusion of pop, rock, and country, but genres do not really matter in this case. The Attractions of Youth is not simply an album, but a tales, warnings, and celebration from a man that has seen himself at his worst, but his singing his way to his best.
