Summer’s all but gone, we thought the dust had died down – but Cory Hanson’s Western Cum album, released back in June, keeps coming back for more. With a now-familiar majestrial swoop, “Western Cum” b/w “I Can’t Keep My Eyes Open” tosses back another couple shots of the stuff that damn near hypnotized us this past season.
A peerless mastery of melody played on and with guitars, and the boldness required to gun-sling at this level, is seared into both “sides” of this virtual non-album single — the legendary, absent album title song, plus a new entry in the trucking (and so tired) song — shimmering like the elusive all-American mirage.
