Souled American - "Frozen"

Photobucket

I've heard a few ways to describe this slow burner, and ambient country's definitely a sticker. Souled American released 4 albums on Rough Trade, pioneering the alt-country sound highly influential to those who heard it, including Jim O'Rourke and the Mountain Goats. A quote from there Wiki (link) page which stands out:

"It's possible that "Frozen", the first of the post-Rough Trade albums, is among the most sluggish and languid music ever made. This style affords the listener moments of crushing misery but also intense beauty, the music being unlike anything made before or since its release."

It took a few tries but this slow tremolo has been resonating quite deeply.
