about

An adventurous tale of a farmer turned fisherman on the wide open seas, The Harrowing Account of JWT is an album full of rambling blues and open sea folk music.
Set to Mike McCarthy's well crafted lyrics the album works as a concept album yet each song stands strongly on it's own!

Visions of Us on the Land
by Damien Jurado

Another fantastic album from Damien Jurado. One of my 'go to' records of late. It was certainly a 'grower' but it feels like a well worn jacket these days. Enjoy! Mike McCarthy
