On his third album, this East Texas songwriter with Native American bloodlines writes about his home region and the American West in general. The unspeakable tragedy of America's gun crime epidemic is the subject of its most inspired track, "The Man from Uvalde," as Emerson sings from the heart: "I don't trust no talkin' head/ I don't care if you're blue or red/ I just wanna keep my child/ From dying at his desk." Although Emerson has said he's "expanding his scope into rock and roll territory, tapping into the storied sounds of folk music gone electric," The Golden Crystal Kingdom's instrumentation is simple, folky and uncluttered. Produced by Shooter Jennings, most of the songs here are ballads where Emerson holds forth with his low-key delivery. His lyrics however need work, being awash in well-worn cliches like "Way out in Texas where the winds are blowin' high/ Been feelin' lonesome but just can't tell you why" (from "I'll Meet You In Montana"). Bathed in strings, the title track seems to tell the story of Emerson's doubts about his chosen profession where the devil "shines into my face until I'm blind," after which he's concluded, "I don't wanna play this stage no more." A straight cover of Charley Crockett's "Time of the Cottonwood Trees" fits in seamlessly. Emerson's bluesy "Hang Your Head Down Low," gets a rocked-up tambourine and electric guitar treatment and is a nice change of pace. Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Co'dine" gets a powerful reading and a dramatic arrangement. "Blackland Prairies" and its follow-up "On the Banks of the Old Guadalupe" sound nearly alike and work in familiar songwriting modes that have been mined a thousand times before. Set amid crashing cymbals, swaying pedal steel guitar, and electric guitar solos, the dramatic closer "Little Wolf's Invincible Yellow Medicine Paint" again suffers from words that proclaim, "Now, I drink my own blood/ I make the thunder thud/ I writhe in the mud." Filled with promise and heart, Emerson's music is finding that words are harder than they seem. © Robert Baird/Qobuz
