Description
Damien Jurado is the sort of songwriter who straddles rocks past and future, and with each record contributes a new chapter to an ever fruitful body of work. Before moving onto the next chapter, lets look back at his first album for Secretly Canadian. An instant classic when released in 2003, Where Shall You Take Me? was his fifth full-length, and is a beautiful collection of ten Raymond Carver-esque vignettes of terror and bliss in Middle America.
Mostly acoustic with very sparse band arrangements with the notable exception being the old live favourite Texas To Ohio, Jurado displays the songwriting talent that turns back the hands of time to a place in which his tunes sound like theyve been floating around, passed down from generation to generation.
Dead Oceans are celebrating the 10th anniversary of this fine release with a deluxe 2LP vinyl reissue, incorporating unreleased basement reel demos and the Just In Time For Something EP, never before released on vinyl.
