Album Review: Chuck Ragan - Till Midnight

No other word encapsulates Chuck Ragan's songwriting style quite like the word 'honest', and the ten tracks that make up his fifth record, Till Midnight firmly underline that fact. Ragan's voice alone – his seemingly whiskey-drenched, smoke-laden growl – is enough to add an extra layer of conviction atop his heartfelt and truthful lyrical content. With Till Midnight, the sincerity becomes increasingly solidified through the backing of Ragan's stage band, The Camaraderie. A typical Ragan record with one discernible difference – Till Midnight exhibits an incredible strength surpassing that of his past records.
