凡夫俗子

Armed with his deep-canyon vibrato, raw emotion, and some colossal choruses, Rory Graham takes his big moment. Your starting place is, of course, the title track: a rumbling instant-anthem that formally introduces Graham’s soulful pop brew. From there it’s a stunning showcase of that voice. There are breezy, hip-hop flavored saunters (“Be the Man,” “Ego”), gale-force workouts (“Skin,” “Love You Any Less”), and even curtain-drawing a cappella moments of delta blues majesty (“Die Easy”).
