Humor Risk (Bonus Track Version)

fantano

The new Cass McCombs album, though I did find it to be a little middle-of-the-road, is a nice change of pace for this singer-songwriter. A good handful of the songs here have a harder rock edge to 'em, and some pretty interesting stories laced into the lyrics.

Cass McCombs' sixth full-length (and second LP of 2011) plays less like an "album" and more like a "collection of songs." By his standards, Humor Risk is something of a laugh riot.
