Another album review from across the pond in Germany. Translation in comments.

Country.de reviews new Adam Gaffney album Product of Another Sad Song, writing:

4.5 out of 5 stars -- "Product Of Another Sad Song gets under your skin... [songs] of grief, alcoholism, loneliness, but also of love, hope, and the attempt to find solid ground again... Musically, Gaffney's sound lies somewhere between classic honky-tonk, Americana, and raw alternative country. Fans of Jason Isbell , George Jones , or Townes Van Zandt will likely find something to enjoy here... [It's] not an easy album – but that's precisely its strength. Gaffney sings of failure, of getting back up, and of how music can sometimes be the only lifeline. An intense, authentic alt-country album with plenty of heart, soul, and genuine Americana atmosphere... the album is a complete success."

Here’s a nice write up for “Nomad.” My record has been out for three weeks today and has been climbing steadily. Go check it out on my Spotify.

Indie Boulevard Magazine features new Adam Gaffney song "Nomad," writing:

"The harmonica on 'Nomad' is so loud, so omnipresent, so unapologetically itself that it essentially functions as the song’s fourth band member. Gaffney clearly decided this track would live or die by the harmonica, and the bet pays off — it gives the whole thing a physicality that the pedal steel alone would smooth over. Gaffney wrote this on a couch in Iowa twelve years ago, and the song aged the way good whiskey barrel furniture ages: the structure held, the surface got rougher. His voice sits in that St. Louis alt-country grain where every vowel sounds like it was earned at a gas station at 4 AM between gigs. The three-part chorus harmonies do the heavy lifting emotionally — they turn a road song into a congregation song, briefly, before the harmonica barges back in."
