Jun 10, 2014Ultimately, Bird continues to prove himself to be a versatile musician who’s as capable at fresh adaptations of country-leaning tunes as he is forward-thinking arrangements of his own.
-
Jun 24, 2014The music is softly strummed, and Bird’s voice is a high, lonesome thing like the wind on a prairie. Sort of.
-
Jul 7, 2014A fantastic set of songs approached with a reverence that is never stifling, and one in which fans of either act will find plenty to love.
-
Jun 18, 2014Rather than attempting to rehash what's at his disposal, he prefers to mould each song into his own sonic creation. And while it's not perfect, it is a fascinating and, at times, emotional listen.
-
Jun 25, 2014More than anything, it’s refreshing to hear an artist with Bird’s skill set bring to life a set of songs that deserve an audience far beyond the small cult that has already discovered them.
-
Jun 17, 2014The beautifully crafted lyrics of Things Are Really Great Here, Sort of are slowly offset by the melancholy implied in the title, at times through the stirring yet mournful violin-caressing and whistling Bird.
-
Jun 20, 2014Bird’s simultaneous engagement with the words and distance from the material free his delivery to keep the album feeling lighter than I’ve implied.
