Review

Spin (p.104) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "A skilled genre-hopper, Henry chooses to nestle in a weary, blues-inflected groove, delivering clear-eyed tales about regret, America, and Willie Mays -- sometimes all at once..."
Entertainment Weekly (p.149) - "CIVILIANS matches Henry's rough croon with a rich, warm sound that instantly draws you into its sonic world." -- Grade: A
Q (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[H]is songwriting has expanded to incorporate blues, jazz and more esoteric stylings....Expertly crafted and comfortable..."
Uncut (p.121) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Henry's 10th album is a sharper affair. Stripped to earthy Beat-jazz, with elements of swamp blues and gospel..."
Down Beat (p.85) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "This is one of his most direct, restrained albums in years.....Henry's gorgeous, distinctive voice has always managed to split the difference between blue-eyed soul and country twang."
Dirty Linen (p.76) - "The songs echo a sepia-toned photograph in feel and texture, with no wild changes to take you away from the stories Henry has crafted with exquisite detail and care."
No Depression (p.94) - "Henry's latest is a roomier affair, removing its predecessor's feverish layer of free-jazz woodwinds and horns in favor of naked clarity and contemplative space."

Title Note

Additional personnel: Van Dyke Parks, Bill Frisell.

CIVILIANS, Joe Henry's second album for Anti- and tenth overall, sees him mastering the recipe he has tangled with throughout his impressive career: a pan-American vision that dabbles with almost every early-20th-century genre from torch songs to folk; from ragtime to the blues. He brings spacious, but effecting arrangements and an incisive, dry wit to a song cycle that finds the common links between Brian Wilson and Nick Cave. The album features the legends Bill Frisell and Van Dyke Parks on guitar and keyboards respectively.
