Watson,\" a spare, moody tale of a sugar cane plantation owner named Edgar Watson, which couldn't be further from the sunny rural folk jamboree glow that permeated the band's 2011 full-length. That said, the rest of the EP, outside of the brooding \"Burying Davy,\" leans closer to that countrified feel, and while it may come off a little contrived at times (Colin Meloy's nasally, faux-British croon stands out like vegan pork gravy on a cover of the Grateful Dead's \"Row Jimmy\"), these outtakes will no doubt help to satiate fans until the group reconvenes for album number seven. ~ James Christopher Monger","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46173882548511,"sku":"5099967916825","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/67933a79aadc99a5fd9aaf4d493b77ab.jpg?v=1780834434","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/long-live-the-king-1","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
