Mixerr Album Reviews #2,325

Kristian Montgomery and the Winterkill Band - Prince of Poverty is the follow-up album to The Gravel Church album as it follows up the Gravel Church. The sound is much edgier than The Gravel Church album was. This album is known for those jangly hooks. As expected with a country album, the songs are primarily banjo-propelled. Prince of Poverty is alternative country with a strong rootsy foundation which in turn follows the indie country route. The album is the band’s second CO-VID pandemic release.

American Fire is one of those songs that brings that “American Fire” to the indie country genre as well as alternative country. You can feel the country edge and step in those drums with those jangly hooks and all. American Fire is one of those that will cheer you up when you’re having a shitty day. The song brings cheer and country blessings. American Fire is powered by a classic country styled banjo steel guitar which fans of country music enjoy.

Working Hands captures the authentic blue-collar spirit that’s inside Americana. Working Hands show off the band's rootsy foundation. Everyone who has ever held down a job before can definitely relate to this song.

Kristian Montgomery wrote the song Don’t Call Me Baby after waking up from a nightmare on February 29, 2020. He had a dream about being murdered by a woman in the desert and she kept saying “It's ok, baby" after every shot fired into his chest. That is the reason why he wrote this song. This country song is based off a fantasy.

Tired of Being Tired is the blue-collar lullaby dedicated to the working class people of America. Everyone who has ever held down a job before can relate to this song. Tired of Being Tired will cheer you up when you’re having a shitty day.

I rate this album 4/5****!
