Our Take

Richmond Fontaine's latest offering, "High Country/Thein," is a delightful romp through the wild west of alt-country. Frontman Willy Vlautin's gravelly vocals transport you to the dusty highways and lonely bars of small-town America. The band effortlessly blends folk, rock, and Americana influences to create a sound that is uniquely their own.

The album kicks off with the anthemic "The Girl On the Logging Road," a rollicking ode to lost love and redemption. Vlautin's lyrics paint vivid pictures of heartbreak and longing, while the band's tight instrumentation drives the song forward with a sense of urgency.

Tracks like "Lost in the Trees" and "A Letter to the Patron Saint of Nurses" showcase Richmond Fontaine's ability to craft deeply emotional and introspective songs that resonate long after the last note fades. The band's dynamic arrangements and thoughtful songwriting set them apart from their alt-country peers, making "High Country/Thein" a standout album in their already impressive discography.

Overall, "High Country/Thein" is a must-listen for fans of Americana and alt-country music. Richmond Fontaine has once again proven why they are one of the most beloved and respected bands in the genre. So saddle up, grab a bottle of whiskey, and let the music take you on a journey through the high country of your soul. Yee-haw!
