 | | His first album, The Kingdom of Heaven Must Be Taken By Storm, had its bright spots, but it didn't quite deliver on the promise of that night at Tonic. |
 | | Although too loyal to traditional blues structures to be considered a part of the so-called "freak folk" scene that includes Banhart and Joanna Newsome, Blakeslee nonetheless shares their old-soul spirit, and is a logical companion on their backwoods, Appalachian revival. |
 | | Wandering Stranger, filled with lyrics about finding something better in life, filled with lyrics like, "The girls on the train in New York City frown so much they could never be pretty, darling," makes me want to ditch the city, hop on a bus, and go rediscover the decent things America has to offer. |
