INTERIOR LIVE OAK

“The unreliable narrator’s unreliable narrator,” is how MOJO’s reviewer described the Californian singer-songwriter, now onto his 12th album of covertly excellent songcraft. A reunion with his earliest collaborators in San Francisco, Interior Live Oak was as sprawling, subtle and hard to pin down as much of McCombs’ work; 16 songs that variously placed him in the company of Grant McLennan, Elliott Smith and Bill Callahan, held together by their subtle, steadily engrossing consistency.
