Our Take

Joe Henry's "Civilians" may just be the most British album to come out of America in recent memory. With Henry's gravelly vocals and poetic lyrics, it's like listening to a troubadour who has spent one too many nights in a smokey London pub.

The opening track "Our Song" sets the tone for the album, with its jangly guitars and introspective lyrics. It's the kind of song that makes you want to sit back, sip a cup of tea, and ponder the meaning of life.

But don't be fooled by the laid-back vibe of "Civilians." Tracks like "Civilians" and "Channel" bring a raw intensity that will have you tapping your foot and nodding your head along with the beat.

Henry's storytelling abilities shine on tracks like "Scar" and "Time is a Lion," where his vivid lyrics paint a picture of life's struggles and triumphs. It's like listening to a modern-day Shakespeare, but with a cooler haircut.

Overall, "Civilians" is a must-listen for any music lover looking for something a bit different. So put on your best tweed jacket, pour yourself a pint of ale, and let Joe Henry take you on a musical journey through the streets of London. You won't regret it, guv'nor.
