KC Rules OK came out originally in 2005 and I was tempted to try it out but it passed me by until now. King Creosote is a gentleman by the name of Kenny Anderson and he is associated with the Fence Collective. King Creosote makes folk music and sometimes records with other members of the Fence Collective label as well as his two brothers who are also musicians.
Kenny Anderson has a soothing voice with a gentle Scottish lilt and the songs on KC Rules OK are very easy on the ears. '678' is a song about missed opportunities and failed dreams and one of the best songs on the cd building slowly until it fades out. I also liked 'Locked Together' which reminds me of the Canadian band Blue Rodeo. 'Jump at the cats' with its harmonica and upbeat rhythms stands out from the rest of the slower paced songs. 'My favourite girl' is a sad and lovely lament with some accordian? accompaniment.
This is a good cd but it isn't something that grabbed me as much as other similar musicians like Micah P Hinson has. Great for Sunday morning hangovers.
