Jack Loyd , Noel Boggs And String Band - Divorce Granted Act 1 Act 2 Act 3

Review by Chloé Angela Reign Aquino

Divorce Granted Act 1 Act 2 Act 3, the latest album by Jack Loyd, Noel Boggs, and String Band, is a masterful exploration of the emotional upheaval of divorce. The album is divided into three acts, each with its own distinct sound and mood, but all tied together by the raw honesty of the lyrics and the musicians' impeccable playing.

Act 1, titled "The Beginning of the End," sets the stage with a mournful, bluesy tone. Loyd's vocals are full of pain and regret, while Boggs' steel guitar weeps in the background. The songs in this section deal with the initial shock and heartbreak of a marriage falling apart.

Act 2, "The Fight," is a more upbeat and defiant section. The songs here reflect the anger and frustration that comes with the divorce process. The band's energetic playing and tight harmonies give these songs a sense of determination and resilience.

Finally, Act 3, "The Aftermath," is a more contemplative and introspective section. The songs here are quieter and more reflective, as Loyd and Boggs explore the aftermath of divorce and the process of moving on. The album's closing track, "The End of the Beginning," is a haunting and beautiful coda that leaves the listener with a sense of hope and closure.
