Piers Faccini does it again with his latest album My Wilderness. Faccinis acoustic musings on this album are very Dylan-esque with some gospel chorus, as well as that very gloomy Jose Gonzales type vocal delivery that seems very subtle but manages to convey a wide range of delivery on both high and low registers which allows perfection in change ups and meshes well with the mostly moody sounding album.
This is another artist that I feel can only be described with No Word Wasted. Every track on the album has something to say, and Faccinis folkish edge allows those words to be conveyed in such a great storytelling fashion. Track 2, The Beggar & The Thief could have had its words torn directly from a storybook. Each word is descriptive against the backdrop of a world Faccini has created making it easy to just sit back, close your eyes and imagine this world into being within your mind. Track 3, A New Morning, is where youll find that bluesy gospel feel on the album at its most potent. Faccini displaya fabulous range and a perfect grasp on gospel blues creating a captivatingly chilly track that will beg to be thrown on a loop.
Of the 13 tracks on the album I wouldnt throw even one out. Its very broody music which, if youre a fan of musicians like Amos Lee, Jose Gonzales, Fionn Regan, youll quickly find Piers Faccinis music very endearing. As always final judgment is yours, but I urge you to head over to Faccinis official webpage or look him up on youtube, if hes not already an artist you know. Enjoy.
