Justin Wells,”The United State” (Singular Recordings)- There can’t be too many practitioners of Americana who can happily cite Pink Floyd and Guns’n’Roses as major musical influences, but this was the aural landscape which fired Justin Wells’ imagination during his formative years in Kentucky. Wells went on to record four albums with alt.country/Southern rockers Fifth on the Floor before striking out as a solo performer in 2016 with his critically acclaimed debut set,”Dawn in the Distance.” The eagerly anticipated follow-up,”The United State” could be loosely categorised as a concept album as it maps out the human journey from cradle to grave via skilfully crafted gems such as “No Time For A Broken Heart,” “The Screaming Song” and “The Bridge.”
