Michael Stovall, who under the name Red Porch Kid, has crafted something pretty spectacular on his new solo project “Rocketship”. The entire album mixes ambient and Americana together to create a beautiful, folky, airy production. It’s not unlike Bon Iver’s ambitious 22, A Million, and at first listen seems at least somewhat influenced . Lyrically it’s a pretty standard growing up record, but sonically it challenges and rejuvenates, and Lord knows we need some more of that these days. Stovall is a founding member of Jackson Jones, who disbanded back in 2008. This is his second solo release, and his first under the name of Red Porch Kid. He wrote, recorded, and produced the record himself, which came out January 27th.
