More Info:
The American singer-songwriter Joe Henry is a welcome guest in the country folk scene. His all-acoustic third album "Shuffletown" is a laid-back album with a lot of slow and timeless songs. The interesting part is the instrumentation, with stand-up bass, vibraphone and accordion, among others. The album is produced by the Americana star T-Bone Burnett and was recorded over 4 days. It's one of the many masterpieces Joe recorded, and one with a warm tone and some incredible lyrics.
