Bill Abernathy "A Thousand Wild Horses"

Regular CMT readers should recognize the name, Bill Abernathy. His country/folk style is one that is infinitely engaging, and his newest release "A Thousand Wild Horses" doesn't disappoint. Like his other tunes reviewed on this blog, the poetic refrain endures as a compositional tool which you can read along from the video below.

On this track, there is a gentleness and vulnerability to Abernathy's voice that comes across as rather courageous. Of course, we expect the lyrics to carry the tune and as mentioned earlier, they deliver, but we shouldn't lose sight of the lovely instrumentation of acoustic guitars and sparse drums all a wonderful bed for the singing to lay upon. What more can I say? There is a reason why we keep coming back to this guy.
