Gus McKay's sound is gritty and down to earth. He calls to mind people like Bob Dylan, Tom Waits and Lou Reed. His vocals have a real genuine feeling to them. This has a lot of singer/songwriter texture to it. Yet there is also a psychedelic sort of unearthly vibe to a lot of it. Things like country and jazz are sprinkled throughout. All of that adds up to a unique and intriguing listening experience.
This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) form in Music Street Journal: 2018 Volume 5. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2018.
