Johnny Blue Skies ‘Passage Du Desir’ Album Review

Sturgill Simpson’s latest, under another name, is every bit the equal of his classic Metamodern Sounds release from a decade ago.

The Milwaukee-based band’s debut album, Poor Pretender, draws influence from classic country, folk, Americana, R&B, and even punk. It’s terrific.

Bloom & Fade mirrors an artistic mantra and spirit and honors the familial past with Texas singer-songwriter precision and a robust sonic palette.
