The Long Goodbye (LP)
John Paul White
Amoeba Review
01/21/2013
Before taking the Americana scene by storm with Joy Williams in the Grammy-winning Civil Wars, Tennessee troubadour (and Johnny Depp lookalike) John Paul White released this solo album in 2008, and it’s a barnburner. Remarkably assured on his debut recording, he spins hard, hypnotic, emotional tales, his voice ringing with the apocalyptic desperation of Thom Yorke or Win Butler. Pure yearning intensity that redoubles when he hits those swooping choruses. It’s a little more indie and a little less folk than the Civil Wars, but it’s easily as good, and it will be a revelation for Civil Wars fans.
