Album Of The Day: Burlap To Cashmere by Burlap To Cashmere

Album Art of Burlap To Cashmere's self-titled album - Designed to look like an old book or something, the cover has a old paper look and has some marks of glue or tape on the left side and the edges. In the middle is printed a brown outline of a five-piece band and then below it the band's name in large letters.

Released 14 years ago today, this is the second album from Burlap To Cashmere and their first full-length album since their 1998 debut. Though not as beloved as their debut album, it's again beautiful folk rock that includes a lot of world music, including Greek/Mediterranean music influences. When I first heard this album, I wasn't that much of a fan, but it's definitely grown on me over time. Some of the best songs are "Love Reclaims The Atmosphere", "Closer To The Edge" and "The Other Country", and "Seasons" is a favorite of mine though it first appeared on lead singer Steven Delopoulos's debut solo album. It's hard for anything to match Burlap To Cashmere's first album, in my opinion, but this certainly shows that over a decade later, the band can still write some great songs and record beautiful music.
