Cass McCombs – Winter 2012 Tour
This just in from Cass McCombs band on Facebook, on the road and on their way into Denver to play tonight at the Hi-Dive, ““Will from [Cass McCombs band] here. We’re on our way, coming down 76. Roads ain’t so bad. If we make it, we’re playing. Be there.”
[KB preview] As we try to survive these divided times, “Love Thine Enemy” from Cass McCombs’ 2011 release, Humor Risk, is a welcomed vibe compared to what exists outside our headphones. One that, whether intentionally or not, reminds us that no matter how much we’re surrounded my complete B.S. and hypocrisy, especially during this fierce and comical political battle, there is always “sincerity” and intention to balance things out.
There is also a sense of unity on “The Same Thing,” where the lyrics spotlight how even with the differences, we’re all “on the same street” and “we’re cut from different sets of the same cloth.”
And that’s what Mr. McCombs excels at, not only the crafting of words and thoughts that resonate to the now, but glide along in grace with his notes and chord creations.
