All of Kevin Morby's sounds converge on 'This Is a Photograph.' Read ellen_a_johnson's review:
Memphis makes beautiful music. Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash recorded hits at Sun Studio, while Stax Records, a cradle of American soul music, played host to Otis Redding, Booker T. & The M.G.’s and countless others. Alongside Atlanta, Nashville, New Orleans and Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Memphis is a Southern city whose music historyMemphis is a place that has endured much pain, too. A climbing crime rate and an ugly civil rights history give it a bad rap.
Another personal moment comes during the title track and lead single, which was inspired by an old photograph of Morby’s father that he stumbled upon shortly after the aforementioned health scare. He also mentions old photographs of his mother and himself, and despite the heaviness of the backstory, the song itself is fun. Over crunchy guitar, Morby speak-sings his way through a meaningful reflection on his family history.
Morby also hits all the right notes on “Random Acts of Kindness,” which feels akin to the best of Taylor Goldsmith’s throw-it-all-in-the-pot writing style. Then there’s “Bittersweet, TN,” the album’s one strictly folk song and a moving duet with pal Erin Rae .
