Stephen Kellogg of Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers is ready to capture the beating heart of the country on his new solo album, Blunderstone Rookery, coming out this June. Mixed by Mike Mogis of Bright Eyes and Monsters of Folk fame, the promising record contains instrumental contributions from members of Nickel Creek, OAR, and Sugarland. For those curious about Kellogg's ambitious take on the American experience, the widescreen vision of his train-chugging debut single, "Thanksgiving," has surfaced, placing the listener at a window seat. The song chronicles the agony of debt and divorce, the excitement of raising a family, and the unspoken contradictions found in the way we think and live. At ten minutes, the courageous single dares to present a bold decade-spanning narrative, justifying its running time with complex lyricism, layered production, and go-for-broke passion.
