Robert Pollard 'Honey Locust Honky Tonk'

£5.99

Honey Locust Honky Tonk is a compact wonder and so varied, tuneful, graceful, magnificent and ebullient that you'll be forgiven for thinking that Robert Pollard has saved his best for his own album.

Slicker in some ways than recent Guided By Voices efforts, though not without its own down-home charm, its seventeen songs still whiz by in 34 minutes, stridently showcasing Pollard's songwriting mastery with some of the best tunes he's ever penned.

The longest, the semi-stately album closer Airs clocks in at just over three and a half minutes, but most are in the 2 or 2 and half minute range typical of Pollard's attenuating genius.
