Careless Soul

Careless Soul

George Jones and Conor Oberst might find common ground in the songs of Cale Tyson, who grew up listening to emo and embraced heartbreak country in college. Careless Soul is a testament to the elegant dovetailing of those traditions: “Somebody Save Me” finds Tyson crooning in an affectingly unornamented drawl (reminiscent of Say Anything) over horn-led swing; “Dark Dark” opens with a delicate strum, busts open into pedal-steel wails, then pulls back with delicious restraint. A perfect marriage of torch and twang.
