Cary Morin and his band Ghost Dog perform songs from Cary’s latest release Innocent Allies!
Morin has been lauded throughout his long career for masterful guitar playing and a diverse blend of influences (blues, folk, soul, bluegrass), crafting a sound that has often been called Native Americana. Innocent Allies illustrates a world of mysterious loners: ranchers and hunters, warriors and outlaws, some dealing with loss or late for waiting lovers, and some facing a noose. These colorful phantoms float through dead-on descriptions of wintry western landscapes dressed up by the sheer beauty of the tunes. Acoustic and pedal-steel guitar lines soar and swoon above perfectly balanced droplets of piano, all of it intertwined with Morin’s smooth, sad vocals, which have just the right amount of gravel tossed in. – Denver Westword, January 30th, 2024
