Yoni Gordon and The Good‘s impressive 2009 album ‘Turning Chaos Into A Career‘ merited a spot in our end of year top albums list.
The troubadour was back this year with the album ‘Country For The Timid‘ offering a completely different angle. Temporarily parking The Goods in favour of a guitar and voice combo makes this is very much a back to basics album.
Yoni Gordon trades hooks and upbeat melodies for a far more sombre sound channeling Springsteen and Dylan interlinked with the great travelling bluesmen.
In his own words:
“These are tough times we are living through. Tougher than that. It won’t do to put on a party record right now. Country for the Timid is an album for these times”.
