Travelling Head Case

The Travelling Headcase plays some heartfelt acoustic blues…these very somber and reflective pieces recall Tim Buckley and, especially, Nick Drake. Still unique enough to command his own stylistic take on his narcotic presentation of the folk/blues music he’s playing, the Travelling Headcase gets high (no pun intended) marks for his brutal honesty and fine, introspective (if sparse) lyrics. Standout tracks like Cocaine High, The Blues Had Me, and Even If make for some powerful comedown music. This is harrowing/sad and cathartic/joyous all at the same time. The lap steel in Cocaine High is pretty sweet. Sticky sweet…on a spoon sweet. -Boy Howdy
