Musically, THE CALLING finds Wright once again mining the regally traditionalist sound first heard on ACOUSTIC ARCADE. Hazy bluegrass numbers, acoustic-based songbook pop, and jumpin’ country swing provide the backdrop for Wright’s continuing study of the vicissitudes of life, love, and death. Although he is certainly world-weary and wise, a lot of life is lived in the verses of these songs and there is a sublime spirituality that provides, if not hope (a rather prosaic notion for Wright by this point, to be sure), at least a means to finding contentment. Finally, a word about Wright’s voice here: while his singing has always been unconventional and inveriably melodic in any traditional sense, in its whispered magnificence it is simply perfect for this timeless music.
Sean Wright’s 26th new album in 26 months! His 32nd album features 12 new songs and is the third solely acoustic release in an outstanding trilogy along with DYLAN’S DEAD? and ACOUSTIC ARCADE.
Wright’s epic songwriting (26 original albums in 26 months) out-shines his greater accomplishment:
On THE CALLING, he teams up with New York poet, Reine Amodeo, on the song “Trust.” All the other songs are written by Wright.
