He deserves to be right up at the front.<\/p>\n<p>It seems like a <i>mostly <\/i>country record, due in no small part to Bishop\u2019s twangy, wavering vocals, but that would be simplifying it too much. There are elements of gospel (\u201cI Have Been Received\u201d), \u201870s rock (\u201cWhen She Rides\u201d), hit-the-road honky-tonk (\u201cLock The Door\u201d), and straight-up, down-home, foot-stomping blues (\u201cAin\u2019t It Gone My Home\u201d). Like a lot of seasoned sidemen and session players, Bishop clearly has a kung-fu grip on production and arrangement, both of which feel organic, meticulously crafted, and lush without being muddled. A laundry list of solid collaborators, such as Louise Burns (ex-Lillix), Erin Passmore (Rah Rah), and three members of Yukon Blonde does the album no disservice either.<\/p>\n<p>All of these elements come together best on \u201cThat List Is Too Long,\u201d a slow burning waltz that floats along on thick organ tremolo, leading each verse to a knock-out chorus heavy on crystal clear harmonies, with Bishop\u2019s big voice calling down the spotlight, eyes to the sky.
