1 CD - UK ImportArtist, illustrator, writer and lo-fi innovator, Tobin Sprout was the super-productive partner of Robert Pollard in Guided By Voices. The gifted songwriter returns with a pensive, expansive part autobiographical new album ‘Empty Horses’. Here, he's part Townes Van Zandt, part John Prine, and part Robbie Robertson at his retrospective best. The album is a meticulously observed study of America and Americana (not the music, but the state of mind). An alternative American Songbook, if you will, a collection of laments to simpler times and the struggle for what's right, peppered with an examination of faith and the search for a sense of justice.Empty Horses’ is released as a deluxe bookback CD, beautifully packed with 24 pages of paintings and lyrics by Tobin Sprout, a true collectors piece for fans of Tobin's music and art.
