    Already the standard-bearer for today’s brood that includes Abney, Caleb Caudle and M. Lockwood Porter, Moreland proves there’s nothing sanctimonious about singing the truth on High on Tulsa Heat.

    Whether couched in the hush of his delicate acoustic finger-picking or amped up with a bit of tempo and electricity, sooner or later, his words demand attention.

    At its best, High on Tulsa Heat is starkly elegant, addressing sadness with clarity and directness.

    Alternating between acoustic ballads and full-on roots rockers could have created a disjointed feel, but it works splendidly with the salty, blue-collar honesty of his dustbowl voice providing an emotional cohesion on vivid, affecting songs such as "Heart's Too Heavy" and the warmly nostalgic "American Flags In Black & White."

    It's a well-grooved vision filled with stunning images and sobering emotions.

    Though many of the songs convey images of earthiness and of dirt, there's a beauty that helps the collection soar above the ground.
