Led by Kurt Wagner, the enigmatic, croaky-voiced frontporch\nmaverick, Lambchop has grown into one of the finest purveyors of\ncontemporary Americana. Over the course of its nine-album career,\nthis sprawling Tennessee collective has drawn us in with its\npeculiar hybrid of country soul and intriguing poetics. In the past\nWagner has given us stories about the world around him, but for\n_Damaged_ he has turned his attention inwards, reflecting on\nthe suffering of his life and its tragedies. This is juxtaposed by\nrich and warm production that especially showcases the record’s\nwonderful string arrangements.
