A great degree of instrumental variation befalls the blissful “Wildflower”. Kept in a way that has a decency to it, he manages sure the unflinching honesty feels completely earned. During some of the moments the woodwinds that emerge out of the depths of the sound feel particularly gorgeousness. Everything on here has a sun-kissed quality to it, as if out in the expansive American west. Full of clever lyricism he makes sure the song travels along at its own pace. Going on the complete opposite side of things “Folsum Prison Blues” takes a prickly approach. Doing Johnny Cash’s original such justice he takes that ethos and makes sure that it feels doubly essential at this moment, especially given the much larger number of people in jail right now.

“Wildflower” and “Folsom Prison Blues” revels in the exquisite storytelling of Brian Berggoetz, for the many elements seemingly sparkle out into the infinite expanse.
