Why, yes; yes you will be damned. We’ve resigned ourselves to our fate, but how ’bout you? Caleb Coy’s here to help if you’re having trouble. The Headdress focal point, better known for his sparse, reverbed psych with that outfit, is releasing a solo album with which he lets his Texas roots shine, attempting to conjure some of his iconic folk heroes like Blaze Foley and Townes Van Zandt, though he kinda reminds us of a more mellow William Elliott Whitmore. Called Wild Desert Rose, the album showcases Coy’s more traditional songwriting in slow Texan drawl. The recording seems intentionally rough, but actually makes the quality of the songs that much more rawly powerful. Wild Desert Rose was released today on Yer Bird (and we assume available at finer independent record stores, or digitally here). You can download the track “I’ll Be Damned” below, and though Coy doesn’t seem to currently have a show on the books excepts for some dates out in California next month, hopefully he’ll find a room to strum for us somewhere in the near future.
