You Have to Dig Deep to Bury Daddy
Considering Jeff Lang's back catalogue, this album was inevitable. At each step in Jeff's recording career, we came closer and closer to a pure Australian gem, a combination of the tenderness of 'Everything Is Stil'l, the searing technical brilliance of 'Cedar Grove' and the accessibility and appeal of 'Whatever Makes You Happy'. One listen to the opening track `Til They Cut Me Down' will confirm he is his own man. This album is the real deal, full of raw poetic lyricism, and an atmospheric lilt that will transport listeners. Between The Dirt and Sky will ask you to listen up, again and again, because this is a tale told so well, you will be horrified and beguiled simultaneously. The delicate Molasses and Stone will ring in your head for days, requiring repeat listens just to satisfy this need that lay dormant before you heard the album. ABC Music. 2005.
