Chris Stapleton’s “Traveller” arrived in today’s increment of bankruptcy from the Dodgers. That high lonesome steel sits behind most songs like the line of telegraph poles that’s always in the background as you drive to a distant vanishing point.

Often put on a Spotify playlist that covers new Country. Polished heartbreak and burnished yearning though it may be. More like Rock or Pop or Hip Hop perhaps. Don’t stop it being good. Damn good.
