Adam Klein from Athens, Georgia, is either
solo, in a duo or with his band Adam Klein & The Wild Fires. The album
“Western Tales & Trails” is the second of his four solo albums.
While listening to the songs, you find
yourself, no matter whether you are on the couch, on the balcony or in the car,
in the endless expanse of the prairie or among cowboys taking a break next to
their horses or comfortably sitting in a bar and enjoying a cold beer after a
hard day.
Many of the songs on
the album have a melancholy undertone that evokes a certain longing. The lyrics
are about cowboys and their stories, which invite you to just close your eyes,
experience them and enjoy the music.
