“To steal a line from Jack Black in *High Fidelity*, Rick Alverson makes "sad bastard" music. Thankfully, by the same virtue, it's "damn beautiful," too. As helmsman for Drunk, Alverson fronted a band equally capable of conjuring up moody alt-rock Westerns and folky East Coast Americana. Now, after years of playing with that band, Alverson is also recording music from his home in Richmond, Virginia”
