There he is, Russell Park, the suburban cowboy of Dry Goods / Weston Bookhouse / Walter Mitty / Etc. has returned to GP this year with a beautiful, and quintessential Dry Goods track. Metaphors about nature? Check. Sound bites from a movie I don’t know? Check. Chill shaker and slide guitar? Of course. But this track has more that just “the DG works”. It has the stature of someone who is comfortable in their own shoes; someone who knows their style, has mastered it, and revels in their comfort of craft. Russell resides in Sacramento now and if the solitude of a new city means anything, it means new Dry Goods on the horizon (let us pray).
