| Tobin Sprout's tour – which kicks off in Grand Rapids on Friday – hits Toronto's Monarch Tavern November 18th. See dates below. |
Here's the scoop...
Artist, illustrator, writer and lo-fi innovator, Tobin Sprout was the super-productive partner of Robert Pollard in the legendary Guided By Voices. The gifted songwriter returns with a pensive, expansive part autobiographical new album Empty Horses. Here he’s part Townes Van Zandt, part John Prine, part Robbie Robertson at his retrospective best.
The album is a meticulously observed study of America and Americana (not the music, but the state of mind). An alternative American Songbook, if you will, a collection of laments to simpler times and the struggle for what’s right, peppered with an examination of faith and the search for a sense of justice. Close up and personal, ‘Empty Horses’ is a poignant carefully etched experience, a rolling journey in modern times, nodding back to tradition, a personal snapshot filled with honesty.
Empty Horses is released on vinyl LP and also a deluxe bookback CD, packed with 24 pages of paintings and lyrics by Tobin Sprout, a true collectors item for fans of Tobin’s music and art. Grab a copy of Tobin's Empty Horses album here: https://fire-records.lnk.to/TSEmptyHorses
