Genuine, heartfelt and simply arranged, Homeland for the Restless is a wanderer's prayer and a love poem for the disenchanted. This deeply personal work is marked by an obvious affection for traditional forms and given to bursts of cowboy yips, brooding sorrow and common gibberish. It is the debut solo album of gifted lyricist and storyteller Leo J, the former guitarist of The So So Glos and The Dirty Words. Crafted with care and joy over the course of a summer and fall in Portland, Oregon, this release is part tragedy, part redemption, all-American.
