Gregory Alan Isakov 2024 Appaloosa Bones Tour Shirt
Those familiar with Gregory Alan Isakov’s seven previous albums will know that the Colorado-based singer-songwriter’s early work favoured spacious, cinematic soundscapes, creating textured moods rather than energy, and, with contributions from Leif Vollebekk, Danny Black and Aoife O’Donovan, it’s this to which he returns on Appaloosa Bones, his first release in five years.
The tracks generally hover around the three-minute mark but feel like majestic opuses. The album opens with the classical piano notes intro to the slow walking rhythm The Fall before the piston hiss percussion, a banjo riff and his falsetto vocals expand the sound with images of fragility and, apparently inspired by the risks of a trapeze artist falling during his act, a lyric about resilience.
The banjo also sets the scene to Before The Sun, a less lush and slightly more uptempo number with double-tracked vocals that, a road song of sorts, again speaks to self-reliance.
The wearily sung, slow, spare and shimmeringly lovely title track steers a similar thematic path, the phrase coming from a rodeo world saying about being tough enough on the inside to get back into the saddle after taking a fall, though here, touching on mental health issues, that strength comes from the help of another as the piano lifts it to a soaring peak and fade.
On Watchman, he extends the metaphor of a farmer needing to stay up nights to keep an eye out for coyotes preying on sheep to the protection of a lover in a predatory world .
As you might surmise, the sparsely strummed, piano-tinged Miles To Go, with its echoey resonator guitar break, is a musician’s road song where “Highway signs, cut the clay/You find yourself miles away”. Hollow footsteps lead into the piano notes of the orchestral sweep Terlingua. It may be titled for the Texas ghost town but is basically a love song wrapped up in pastoral nature imagery.
The penultimate and longest track on Appaloosa Bones, at just under five minutes, the fuzzy, slow clumping, echoey piano-led Sweet Heat Lightning was once known as Cicada Song and has a mix of childhood memory, a resignation of passing years and an unknown future. Things coming to a close with Feed Your Horses, opening with an eerie desert night drone before keys and guitar conjure an almost Waitsian late-night bar mood on an achingly gorgeous song of enduring love in the face of a restless heart .
Suffused with enigmatic poetic imagery to complement the simple but exquisite contemplative arrangements and spiritual feel, this is an album to absorb as you lay outside on a summer night gazing up at the stars.
