Ruston Kelly - Jericho (Official Music Video)

"Jericho" finds Ruston Kelly channeling the dark minimalism of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska with a stark guitar-and-a-harmonica aesthetic. He uses the biblical city's ancient wall as a representation of his own isolation, but it's cut through with the harmonies of Natalie Hemby and ex-Civil Wars member Joy Williams, with whom Kelly co-wrote the tune. Together, they lift the song up, singing on the chorus, "I raised Jericho around me, but these walls are built to scale." Hemby and Williams are but two of the many collaborators that appear on Dying Star, which Kelly recorded with producer and collaborator Jarrad K at Sonic Ranch in El Paso, Texas. Kacey Musgraves, who's married to Kelly, also lends her voice to the project, while Kelly's father Tim contributes atmospheric pedal steel to "Jericho." With Dying Star out September 7th on Rounder Records, Kelly will also embark on his first headlining tour in the fall, with support from Katie Pruitt. His tour will open with a debut appearance at Austin City Limits Festival in Austin, Texas on October 13th. – Jeff Cage for Rolling Stone https://www.rollingstone.com/country/...
