This the seventh studio offering from Urban Country duo Morton Valence (Anne Gilpin and Robert â Hackerâ Jessett) started life as their experimental side-project back in 2016. Legendary UK country label Cow Pie Ltdâ s - established in 1978 by BJ Cole and Hank Wangford - sensibilities were especially tweaked and they were convinced it was time this spectacular album finally got the airing it has always deserved remastered and repackaged for a new era. The album features ten tracks. From the explosive intro of â Skylines Change / Genders Blurâ coming at you like the illegitimate lovechild of The Jesus and Mary Chain and Ennio Morricone to the down-at-heel â Black-Eyed Susanâ replete with sweaty priest and bullwhips Morton Valence also flirt with the blues on â Sister Painâ deliver sorrowful divine love songs like â The Visitâ & â Hymn Fourâ and breathe fresh discordant life into the late 80s Bob Dylan classic â The Man with the Long Black Coatâ. As antithesis to a no regrets-type torch song â If I Could Start Againâ where a man recounts his misspent life from a prison cell could have been penned by Merle Haggard. The unrelenting â Trail of Tearsâ is more akin to late-70â s Martin Rev robotics than anything ever created on a guitar. Alongside Gilpin and Hacker Alan Cookâ s sublime pedal steel guitar is omnipresent throughout the album. â Black Angel Drifterâ is an alt-country album that puts the rulebook through the shredder and starts again set to put Urban Country on the map and give UK Alt-country an authentic new voice of its own a voice that is genuinely original new and exciting. Quotes : They drift with phantom ease from spare intimate literate alt-country to a nuanced weighted music bearing the marks of rock n roll history.
