5.0 out of 5 stars a thing of beauty, 9 Feb 2005
By andy east (Lancashire) - See all my reviews
With pedal steel drifting across dusty parched vocals, snapping drums and hazy guitars, this is a country rock album of the highest order. Evoking the harsh and unforgiving climate of the desert lands of Western America, i loved the intimacy of this record, the way it told stories of people never met but easily imagined. Tracks vary from the acoustic and quiet old time country balladeering to the cosmic country that hints off Canyon, My Morning Jacket and Grandaddy canyon. To cap it off the title track is the best justification for giving a relationship a chance i have ever heard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite sublime, 12 Nov 2004
By Darryl Still "daxvondrac" (Bucks) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Willy Vlautin has the best alt.country voice since Jay Farrar of Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt fame.

Post to Wire is beautiful soulful country blues, with a gorgeous rich feel running throughout, given to it by some well felt pedal steel. The songs are linked by postcards from a man on the run from the law and his family, which whilst they dont actually have anything to do with the tracks they link, give the whole album a Paris Texas-like dusty desert shimmer. When they do rock out more and explore some faster sounds, like on the title track, the effect is just as strong as the ballads.

Now delving back to catch their previous albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Band, Great Album, 20 Oct 2004
Richmond Fontaine are the find of the year (2004) as far as I am concerned. This is their 6th album, released on their own label El Cortez records. How did we ever get to miss the first five? Uncut magazine must be credited with championing their cause. "Post to Wire" is by far the most optomistic of their recordings, Willy Vlautin, the band's frontman, seems more settled in himself as he writes. The album masters on the 4 minute story epic, relates tales and tragedies of characters from WV's imagination and/or experience. The idea of including postcard stories throughout the album adds to the "road" feel of the album. This CD has rarely been out of my CD player this year. I got to see the band a couple of times during their autumn tour of the UK, they are amazing. Get into this album and then enjoy darker, looser things on "Winnemucca" and "Lost Son". The Great American road novel in music. I think these guys are just great. I'm biased.
