Acclaimed raconteur Ray Bonneville strips his bluesy Americana down to its essentials and steeps it in the humid grooves of the South, creating a compelling poetry of hard living and deep feeling. His ninth release, At King Electric, delivers more than his trademark grit and groove. Songs such as \u201cThe Next Card to Fall\u201d and \u201cCodeine\u201d gleam with intimate narratives of characters reaching for hope and wrestling with despair. Rich guitar and harmonica lines resonate over spare but spunky rhythms, while Bonneville\u2019s deep, evocative voice confesses life\u2019s harsh realities.<\/span><\/p>\n
