 Citizen Cope | This is an ardently soulful exploration of blues, hip-hop, rock, and country sounds. Richly textured violins play a lonely melody in the midst of acoustic guitar and classic organ, while the vocals spin a lazy yarn as blue as hip-hop lyrics can be. The country bumpkin earnest soul of groups like Outkast and the Goodie Mob is present, as is the slowly rocking blues and hip-hop combination favored by Beck and the post-House of Pain Everlast. Everything is harmoniously orchestrated to tell a tragic tale of desperation and greed appropriate for passing time in a boxcar.Find Citizen Cope cds and Citizen Cope records on RCA Records. |
