![]() The Ghost of Paul Revere (from the album Good at Losing Everything available as a self-release) Holler, the vocal action not the geographical location, is the style of Folk branded by The Ghost of Paul Revere. Their recent release, Good at Losing Everything, contains on-the-money examples of Holler Folk when The Ghost of Paul Revere aim for the cheap seats with the Country Soul of “When Can I See You Again”, the rambling tale in “Travel On”, and the tally of “Two Hundred and Twenty-Six Days”. Good at Losing Everything is album number three for the Maine-based trio (Max Davis – vocals/banjo, Sean McCarthy – vocals/bass, Griffin Sherry – vocals/guitar) filling out the band sound on the album with new members Chuck Gagne (drums), multi-instrumentalist Jackson Kincheloe and Ben Cosgrove (piano). In the advice, reflections, and rhythms of Good at Losing Everything, The Ghost of Paul Revere create perfect-world Americana Pop, honoring the Roots traditions of live shows and not afraid to add a little studio polish to accent the sound, the gospel groove and choral harmonies of the title track that opens Good at Losing Everything making a sonic template for the tracks, telling its truths in raw, real life stories and hearty beats. Holler Folk takes the album out, exiting with vocals reaching high over the dreamy keyboards of “We Were Born Wild” though Good at Losing Everything offers quieter Folk rambles as “Delirare” sparkles on acoustic guitar notes and a soulful take on loneliness. A forceful rhythm courses confidently under the harmonies calling out to “Dirigo” as playful picking surrounds “Diving Bell” and the Blues slaps its imprint on “One of These Days” as The Ghost of Paul Revere pound out a break-up song with “Love at Your Convenience”.
