american pancake shows me some love

Robb Donker Curtius has some lovely things to say about Good St Riddance on American Pancake today! In a write-up lovingly titled “Creekbed Carter Hogan and the ‘Miracle’ of the rootsy Queergrass concept album ‘Good St Riddance,’” Curtius cites my “pretty, tender vocal aesthetic and self harmonies” as contributing to an “atmosphere of past stories that envelope you.” The album “hearken[s] forward to 70s folk tempers with Brewer’s beautiful lilt and melodies turning classically folk with toes dipped in garden rock pools.” He also compares me to some ABSOLUTE favorites - Gillian Welch, Led Zeppelin, Thom Yorke, and Joni Mitchell all come up here - and shows some love for my arthritic hands squeaking up and down my guitar neck in “nimble graceful emotional picking.”

“Creekbed Carter Hogan’s spirited, shape shifting album ‘Good St Riddance’ is from start to finish an experience that makes you feel like a better human being for having listened to it” - a final line that made me feel both humbled and absolutely seen. Thank you so much for the generous review, Robb! Read the rest at the link below!
