“I wonder what concept sheep have of a shepherd. Do they expect him to change their path to an easier one? Do they believe him able to move any rock in their path, or do they believe him held by the same natural laws they are held to? Do they believe they are worthy of the shepherd's time and care, as he has claimed responsibility over them?”

Denver’s David Eugene Edwards, from 1995 to 2002 the frontman of gloomy Americana sermonizers 16 Horsepower, formed Wovenhand in 2001 to give himself a solo outlet from his main group. Before long the “solo” project had superseded Edwards’s original project, and in 2014 Wovenhand, now a full-fledged hard rock outfit, released its seventh album, Refractory Obdurate. Edwards continues to mine the conceptual territory of 16 Horsepower—the darker, harsher sides of redemption and faith. I haven’t heard anything in 2014 that rocks as hard as “Good Shepherd.” Edwards also now serves as a guitarist in Simon Bonney's new lineup of his Detroit-via-Australia group Crime and the City Solution.

16 Horsepower were great, Wovenhand are good and (if you forget about the constant god-thing) D.E.E. is a hell of a songwriter. Once again, April's been a great music month...
