It’s been almost three years since Boulder-based songwriter and talented instrumentalist Hunter Stone released his collection of Western-themed ditties, Portraits of the New-Old West (Vol. 1). The thoughtful balladeer is now back with the second half of his extended musical ode to the land of mountains and expansion in Portraits of the New-Old West (Vol. 2). The follow-up to his impressive debut continues to highlight his ability to reflect upon the land he has been calling home for almost ten years, and adds eight fresh tracks to the folky singer’s rootsy body of song-craft.
