First Glances – The Whiskey Priest
The Rainboot label believes it has something special on its hands with Austin based, alt-country songwriter, The Whiskey Priest describing his debut album as “life-changing”. Having heard teaser track, ‘Seafarers lament’ we’re not inclined to disagree.
Real name Seth Woods, The Whiskey Priest began his career in the ensemble Sad Accordions but quickly began amassing a body of his own compositions, too personal to release as part of that groups dynamic. Rainboot will release a full album of Seths own songs right about now. Expect Bon Iver comparisons from every direction.
