John Paul White – Beulah

Description

His first solo album in nearly a decade, ‘Beulah’ is a remarkably and assuredly diverse collection spanning plaintive folk balladry, swampy southern rock, lonesome campfire songs, & dark acoustic pop. Gothic & ambitious, with a rustic, lived-in sound, it’s a meditation on love curdling into its opposite, on recrimination defining relationships, on hope finally filtering through doubt. White threw himself into the project, no longer the reluctant songwriter but a craftsman determined to make the best album possible.
