Conrad Ford - Don't You Miss Yourself
Reviewed by blake
Conrad Ford is an apt moniker for a band with such a weather-beaten, country feel. Aside from other imagery it might conjure, the name is actually inspired by cinematographer Conrad Hall and director John Ford. Get it? Winsome and lonesome, Don’t You Miss Yourself features an eclectic composite of folksy instruments. Call me a sucker for the ukulele and pedal steel, but it hits the western part of the brain reserved for yearning. Of course, too much lonesome yearning can leave one’s eyelids a little heavy. Luckily, the songs you hear before finally nodding off are of excellent quality and untarnished character. [www.conradford.com]
