Chelsea Crowell's second LP, Crystal City, takes some cues from her eponymous debut but delves much deeper into deeply personal songwriting and epic storytelling such as the title track.
Like her debut, Crystal City was recorded by Crowell herself and producer/music partner, Loney John Hutchins. There are featured musicians as well - the Bakersfield twang of axeman Dave Gleason and drums from Nashville drummer Ben Martin, who has recorded with everyone from Will Oldham to Charlie Louvin.
With tracks like I'm Gonna Freeze, Crystal City is a darker, harder hitting album than Crowell's self titled debut, but has softer moments like in Memories or Remind Me. The haunting nature of the instrumental For Stormy brings Santo and Johnny's Sleepwalk to mind. The two part Baptized songs drive home the very intimate, almost confessional tone to this album.
