If it’s one thing that I’ve learned about country music it’s that it doesn’t always come from Nashville. Or even the United States for that matter. On his sixth album Rill conjures stories and peoples that could be our neighbors or figures from history. His expressive voice and direct songwriting have carried him throughout his career. On this latest effort he ups the ante and is ready to stake his claim to being as country as anyone else out there. He’s convinced us.
