Langhorne Slim

Langhorne Slim at Turner Hall Ballroom
It's hard to tell if Langhorne Slim has much more substance or originality than your average singer-songwriter on record, but either way, he undoubtedly has presence, especially when playing live as part of a tight little trio. His third album, 2009's Be Set Free, does put surprising urgency into the material—Slim is able to push his high, reaching voice up to the front even as producer Chris Funk (of The Decemberists) layers more strings, horns, and swelling background vocals atop the unassuming folk- and pop-based songs. The fact that he keeps so much spring in his step on a more elaborately arranged album is a good sign that Slim hasn't lost his thrust as a live performer.
