JOE HENRY
Blood From Stars
2024 2xLP Germany pressing

What an outstanding find today!
So glad somebody finally came to their senses & put this out on vinyl.

Your friendly neighborhood Vinyl Ape has long been a great admirer of Joe Henry. He is without question one of the greatest American songwriters of the past forty years, & his exquisite body of work proves it.

This gem of an album came out in 2009, but for some reason, didn’t get a pressing until October of LAST year?!?! That’s insane.

Anyway, there was no album I listened to more in ‘09 than this one. I’m of the opinion that it’s one of Henry’s best, which is definitely saying something.

Henry is a masterful musical storyteller, like on “Channel”, which has a beautiful piano accompaniment, and the opener “The Man I Keep Hid”, a woozy, boozy opener that you could picture Tom Waits doing.

By far one of my favorite vinyl purchases of the year.
