Now based in Brooklyn via Arizona and Utah, Charles Ellsworth produces this fifth album with Blake Tallent, the guitar player for Sarah Shook & The Disarmers. Across 11 engaging tracks, his voice hits a similar tenor-voiced timbre to that of Will Hoge or Willy Braun of Reckless Kelly.

‘LAX Song’ opens the album with Ellsworth sat at LA airport pining for his lady back in New York: “I miss her red hair in the morning and how it seems to lighten with the day”. ‘Avenue of the Giants’ has him “distracted by the wonder of just being alive” set to a breezy melody and arrangement that includes a mighty guitar solo.

‘If They Let Me Choose Forever’ is another rocker on which Ellsworth remembers a thrilling meeting with a girl at 18 when he was “ready to abandon all reason”, and ‘Crazy Kelly’ also looks back on when Ellsworth “started running so I didn’t have to fall in line”; listen out on the latter for the line “these trinkets of a mind misremembering its bliss”, which gives you some idea of the level of songwriting here.
