Americana songs tend to root their lyrical metaphors in one of two themes: road trips or redemption (one often leading to the other). Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons head straight for the latter in "Born Again," the single released from their upcoming album Death Won't Send a Letter, due out on 29 September. The video is a beautiful montage of bathtub baptisms and revivals in the heat of summer's lingering sunsets.
On a more personal note (and filed neatly in the "just saying" department), if my church had played more music like this (especially with a sultry blond organist), I may have given religion a chance. But they didn't. And I wouldn't. Probably more to do with the fact Catholics don't like to appear to be enjoying themselves--should have hung out with more Baptists, I guess.
