It's a heady mix of country, blues, jazz and experimental styles but crucially with great tunes. There are lush strings, mariachi horns and beautiful pedal steel guitar. Bone-box is at times painstakingly intricate and at others primal and gut-wrenching. Death of a Prize Fighter is a twelve-chapter piece for anyone who likes their tumbler full but their jokes baleful. It touches on lost love and lost friends, on all our inner-monkey fistfights and stubborn old trees. It salutes proud-as-punch sticks-in-the-mud, single-minded down-and-outs and all kinds of spirits
