Over the course of eleven studio albums and nearly two decades, Josh Rouse has drifted from earthy, heart-on-sleeve folk; to nostalgic, sweeping AM radio pop; to thrumming country rock. His horizons, musical and lyrical, continue to expand on his latest album The Embers of Time, which has a more-than-passing resemblance to the softly rocking countrypolitan sound that came out of Nashville during the ’70s.
