Buck Meek - Two Saviors
3-5 StarsA soothing antidote to literally everything else 2020 has thrown our way.
It’s not exactly necessary to know that for ‘Two Saviors’, Buck Meek headed down to New Orleans in the heat of summer to record, one block from the Mississippi. But it doesn’t hurt. A feather-light collection of alt-country, packed with pedal steel, lilting melodies and Buck’s own evocative Texan burr, whether it’s the tranquil ‘Candle’ (co-written with day job bandmate Adrianne Lenker) or the playfully bumbling ‘Ham on White’, Buck’s latest outing is a soothing antidote to literally everything else 2020 has thrown our way.
