Painted Saints' album Company Town is a captivating and poignant collection of songs that showcase the band's exceptional musicianship and insightful lyrics. The album is a mix of genres, including folk, rock, and blues, and each track is a testament to the band's ability to seamlessly blend these styles together.
The album's opener, "Company Town," is a powerful and haunting track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song's slow and steady rhythm, combined with the melancholic melody, creates a sense of foreboding that carries throughout the album. The lyrics paint a picture of a town that has been left behind by progress, with the people struggling to survive in the face of economic hardship.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Old Time Religion," a rollicking blues number that features some impressive guitar work, and "The Ballad of Johnny and June," a touching tribute to the legendary country music couple.
