Reaching above and beyond the promise of a series of very excellent singles in the last year, young fella Fraser A Gorman showcases both his penchant for classic folk songwriting and his rich Nashville Skyline baritone on Dark Eyes. It starts off simply enough, with just Fraser’s vocals enticing us for a dance over some sublime guitar jolts. The eventual builds us to the great heights of some Eagle And The Worm-assisted horns. Along the way we hear some mellow double bass, immaculate guitar solos, soothing fiddle action, and heart-winning sweet nothings such as “like an airforce pilot, I’ll ride you to the stars again.”
