Hailed as a ming-blowingly good (Greg Vandy, KEXP) tutorial on classic country music (Popmatters), Pinnells debut immediately differentiated as authentic and unflinching. Dogged touring through Europe and the states and celebrated radio sessions followed, cementing Pinnells position as a no-fuss master of his craft. His 2017 album Ties of Blood and Affection presents a canny lateral move. Instead of doubling down on the stark themes and values of his debut, this sophomore album finds Pinnell finding comfort in his own skin and achieving the redemption only hinted at in his previous batch of haunted songs. Here Pinnell joyfully embraces the working life, family obligations, and faith. His new stories delve into acceptance and survival, all the while investigating his most challenging chapter yet: adulthood. While If life dont get any better / Im alright with this isnt an out-right triumph, its an honest revelation. You can feel the room breathe and get a sense of these musicians eyeballing each other as their performances are committed directly to thick analog tape. Honest and careworn, Jeremys voice can touch on wry, jubilant, and debauched - all in a single line. Ties of Blood and Affection offers a fair dose resolution to Jeremys story. At his best, Jeremy Pinnell chronicles the joy and sorrow of being human, which is the best that anyone coulddo. Hardscrabble honky-tonk at its best, nodding to Johnny Cash and Buck Owens in equal measure. Ties of Blood and Affection is a stellar collection that could earn Pinnell comparisons to Sturgill Simpson. - ROLLING STONE One of my favorite new finds. Sean Moeller / DAYTROTTER Kentuckian Jeremy Pinnell hits all the country-tune sweet spots. His voice is strong and a little mournful - - you can feel his ache seep through the speakers as you listen -- and the rhythm section shuffles along gently. Weepy pedal steel licks feel just right as Pinnell sings a regretful refrain of I did it again, a familiarsentiment for any of us whove ever done a little backsliding. - THE BLUEGRASS SITUATION</p>
