Which Way The Wind by Stuart A. Staple
From Leaving Songs (Beggars Banquet/2006)
Stuart A. Staples is the singer for one of my favorite bands of the last 10 years, Tindersticks. This is from his second solo record, which is not quite great - maybe just quite good, if not surprising - but will do for now. I dig the rolling gait vibe of this tune, and Staples voice is as ever, lazy, anguished and super cool. Which Way is sort of like a bitter and suave hipster’s version of Petula Clark’s “Downtown", only without the town, just the down.
