Jan 14, 2016The harmonising on Call to War is excellent and I particularly like the short and sweet To the Woods. An enjoyable album.

Mar 16, 2015Dessner has captured performances that have a depth, a soul, a reality to them. Even if you hate country, this is downright good music.

Feb 10, 2015Then Came the Morning is still a solid next step for a promising young band. The songs are catchy and memorable, the musicianship is impeccable, and the production... well, suffice to say that Aaron Dessner should soon find himself an in-demand producer in the folk/Americana world.

Jan 28, 2015Part of the fun of The Lone Bellow is playing spot the influence: James Gang here, Staples Sisters there, Warren Zevon, Faces, lots of Crosby Stills Nash & Young. But to its credit, the band channels these icons with a commensurate amount of tact and respect.
-
Jan 28, 2015Then Came the Morning never overcomes its distance; Williams can keen all he wants, but he’s no louder than someone speaking right to you, right in front of you.
-
Jan 28, 2015This trio pulls off a chosen weave of hybrid roots sounds with seeming ease, passion, and verve. No one else performing Americana or crossover country music attempts anything like it, leaving the trio in its own class.
-
Jan 28, 2015Most of Then Came the Morning shows a confident band stepping more fully into a compelling sound.
-
Jan 28, 2015All of the composite aspects that make this band so compelling are present on Then Came the Morning. Unfortunately, they’re misallocated in pretty obvious ways.
