Album Review: Matt Henry - Love Without Co-Dependency

From the pickin' and pluckin' of the opening seconds, Love Without Co-Dependency is even more unapologetically country than Matt Henry's big hat and denim shirt in his press photo would suggest.

But this isn't a collection of lazily tossed off genre cliches; this is a collection of classic country sounds used to deliver classic country stories and emotion. And with Henry's disarming, laconic Aussie drawl, there's an irresistible charm that works just as well in the record's boot-stomping songs of triumph as it does on the quiet moments of introspection and hindsight.
