MOUNTAIN GOATS - CD JENNY FROM THEBES

Popis - JENNY FROM THEBES:
'Jenny From Thebes' is the story of Jenny, her southwestern ranch style house, the people for whom that house is a place of safety, and the west Texas town that is uncomfortable with its existence. It is a story about the individual and society, about safety and shelter and those who choose to provide care when nobody else will. Recorded at Tulsa, Oklahoma with producer Trina Shoemaker, 'Jenny From Thebes' is a lush collection of showtunes, pushing Darnielle as a vocalist and the Mountain Goats as a band, broadening their sonic palette once again by leaning into influences like Godspell, Jim Steinman and The Cars. Lifted by Matt Douglas' horn and string arrangements, the dreamy guitar of Alicia Bognanno, and backing vocals from Kathy Valentine of The Go-Go's and Matt Nathanson, 'Jenny From Thebes' is a widescreen musical in scope, a melodrama of richly detailed characters and sweeping emotions.
