Richard Lynch delivers a big-hearted mixture of country and honky-tonk on the powerful “Rodeo Town”. Volume deserves to be blasted for this is a sound that needs to be felt as well as heard. From the hit of the drums to the western twang of the guitar he brings it altogether in a way that is distinctly his own. By far though the true highlight comes from the strength of his voice. Containing so much fire and passion, his performance stuns. Lyrics too are chosen with care as he proves to be an exceptional storyteller, carefully drawing the listener in with his love of place. A sense of wide-open spaces takes hold for the way he aligns the many elements into a single, unified vision adds to the colossal scope of the soaring work.
