RAYLAND BAXTER Wide Awake (2018 UK/EU/US limited edition 10-track LP pressed on Orange Vinyl - Deftly produced by Butch Walker, the record infuses Baxter's easygoing, soulful sound with British Invasion melodies and rock and roll swagger, marrying lean, muscular songwriting with adventurous, inventive arrangements. It's a cutting, insightful collection, one that takes a sardonic view the violence, greed, and division that seem to define the modern American landscape. The picture sleeve has its hype-sticker affixed to the front and comes with the picture inner [with a personal note printed on the back], a credit / lyric printed insert plus a black & white card photo which has been autographed by Rayland while the vinyl looks near mint)

Deftly produced by Butch Walker, the record infuses Baxter's easygoing, soulful sound with British Invasion melodies and rock and roll swagger, marrying lean, muscular songwriting with adventurous, inventive arrangements. It's a cutting, insightful collection, one that takes a sardonic view the violence, greed, and division that seem to define the modern American landscape. Rather than point a finger, though, the music holds up a mirror, offering a sober reflection of the times thoughtfully bundled in bright, infectious hooks. There's no judgment here, only keen observation, and Baxter implicates himself as much as his neighbor through it all. When it came time to record his mountain of new songs, Baxter relocated to Santa Monica, California, where he wrangled an all-star studio band that included Dr. Dog's Erick Slick on drums, Butch Walker on bass, Cage The Elephant's Nick Bockrath on guitar, and piano wizard Aaron Embry (Elliott Smith, Brian Eno) on keys. A producer and artist equally at home working with massive pop stars and indie stalwarts, Walker immediately embraced Baxter's vision for the album, and the result is a sunny and altogether charming collection. Scratch beneath the surface, though, and you'll find it's populated by a cast of characters who project a vision of the good life as they struggle to keep it all together behind closed doors. On the punchy Casanova, the singer reckons with debts he knows he'll never be able to repay, while the volatile Amelia Baker charts the narrator's descent into near-madness as he pines for a starlet perpetually out of reach. While Wide Awake offers plenty of broad, wide-angle musings, some of its most arresting moments arrive bundled inside deeply personal memories and snapshots. The heartfelt Everything To Me is a tender tribute to family (Baxter's father Bucky, who played pedal steel with Bob Dylan and Ryan Adams among others, contributes to the record), and the laidback Let It All Go Man is a reminder that there's beauty in simply being alive.
