Album: Robyn Hitchcock
Year: 2017
. . .
Robyn Hitchcock was recorded in Nashville, where Robyn Hitchcock had moved with his partner, Emma Swift, in 2015. And it showed: not so much with the country, though “I Pray When I’m Drunk” is definitely the most country thing he had since since “Ye Sleeping Knights of Jesus” way back in 1984, but because the pedal steel guitar, as played by Russ Pahl, was a pretty big part of the sound.
And nowhere was it a bigger part of the sound than “1970 In Aspic,” where it rings and comments from the start.
