All The good ‘uns vol.2
“Tyson badly damaged his vocal chords several years ago, and he describes his present voice as gravelly. That adds a touch of authenticity to the 19 cuts taken from his last five albums. Whether he’s crooning lowly about a “Lost Herd” or declaring that the “Fiddler Must Be Paid”, Tyson’s vocals add to the verisimilitude of the musical occasion. And when he ends with a quiet acoustic guitar and vocal rendition of “Rainbow”, you may not care that he doesn’t hit all the notes. It sounds as if he’s singing and playing from the heart.”
