{"product_id":"education-of-a-wandering-man","title":"Education of a Wandering Man","description":"Audio Mixer: Ryan Lipman.\u003cbr\u003eRecording information: The Lago Vista Farmhouse, Casa Whiskey, Austin, TX.\u003cbr\u003eTaking its name from acclaimed Western novelist Louis L'Amour's memoir, Education of a Wandering Man finds Lone Star State troubadours Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance delivering another slick and soulful set of T-crossing and I-dotting Texas Americana. Bigger, brighter, and more musically adventurous than 2014's largely bucolic Utah, Education of a Wandering Man barrels out of the gate with two of its most infectious cuts, the punchy, blues-bent \"Company Man\" and the rousing, radio-ready single \"Love Is a Burden.\" Echoes of past dalliances with breezy, Eagles-esque sunset-pop surface on the easy riding \"Journeyman,\" and the slow-burn country-folk of \"American Dream\" and \"Almost All the Time\" support the duo's well-documented Everly Brothers obsession, but Clay and Chance seem to have made the jump from small-town bards to big-city players with great aplomb. Their forays into Motown (\"Midnight Hour\"), red dirt country (\"Back to Austin\"), and twangy, Mavericks-esque retro-pop (\"Done Mr. Wrong\") fall right in line, commercially speaking, with their more traditional offerings -- the sweet, straight up waltz \"Always Been Wild\" is a mid-album gem -- resulting in something that feels both shiny and new and unmistakably familiar. ~ James Christopher Monger","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47288836751647,"sku":"602557129038","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/f291f59b8729b3fad020fbf6d03c405a.jpg?v=1777746829","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/education-of-a-wandering-man","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
