J. Tillman’s second release of 2009 and his seventh studio album since 05, Year in the Kingdom is another gorgeous, ethereal folk album recorded over a two week session in April. The gentle songs on Year in the Kingdom contain dusty flourishes of atmospheric sounds with guitar, mandolin, hammered dulcimer, banjo, recorder, cymbals and wheezing air organs. Year in the Kingdom lures listeners in with heart on his sleeve emotions delivered with honesty and conviction.
