Kevin Morby – Oh My God (CD)
Product Details
Recorded with producer S0ul0utlaw (sam Cohen) and featuring contributions from a cast of collaborators, *Oh My God* finds Morby stretching his sound into orchestral and gospel-inflected territory without losing the loose, road-worn intimacy that made his earlier solo work so compelling. Coming off the critical momentum of *Singing Saw* and *City Music*, this was the record where he committed fully to the big idea, letting the concept breathe across a double LP's worth of space.
Throughout his four solo albums and myriad records of various collaboration, Kevin Morby has recognized in his work the ubiquity of an apparent religious theme. Though not identifying as "religious" in the slightest, Morby-the globetrotting son of Kansas City who has made music while living on both coasts before recently returning to his Midwestern stomping grounds-recognizes in himself a somewhat spiritual being with a secular attitude towards the soulful. And so, in an effort to tackle that notion head-on and once-and-for-all, he sat down in his form of church-on planes and in beds-and wrote what would become his first true concept-album: the lavish, resplendent, career-best double LP Oh My God.
