Released by Three One G

Greater Mythology Blues is the sequel to Adam Gnade’s AMERICANS, also being re-released by Three One G. One finds in these “talking songs” stories continued, ended, and renewed, the cyclical nature of human existence framed like a county fair’s rusted ferris wheel. Keeping an overarching Americana style, the music vacillates from doo-wop to plucked banjo and upbeat percussion. These are punctuated by segments of slow, sobering guitar riffs, hushed organ gospels and occasional musical silence as Adam speaks, sometimes gently warbled and others shared more aggressively. Throughout,, a nearly tangible desperation seems to be fighting its way out in his vocals. Just as with AMERICANS, Gnade’s knack for gut-punching narrative and heartbreaking imagery is thought-provoking and resounding.
