Dustin Kensrue - Please Come Home
- A downhome album with some punk undertones describes Dustin Kensrue’s Please Come Home. His voice has a unique bend to it as harmonica is employed on a majority of the tracks, giving each the class of old-time country that coincides with Kensrue’s passionate emotional bounty.
“I Knew You Before” has acoustic guitar from Kensrue and he also blows the harmonica sweetly throughout the track. Chris Jones strikes away on the drums rather casually, as Kensrue emotes about a girl he knew before she became a bright, untouchable entity, with lyrics like, “Little one, so sweet…Little girl, so innocent and pure…I followed close your gaze…I watch your face drift away.” It sounds as if Kensrue is telling listeners about a young woman he once knew and how he has seen through time and distance how she has lost a small piece of herself.
On “Pistol,” Kensrue talks about his soulmate, what a firecracker she is and how much he adores that quality, with lyrics like, “Love how you curse when I wake you up…Smell of your cool gunpowder…Honey you lay me bare. You’re the girl of my dreams and a pistol it seems but you shoot me straight and true. Time to lay down my bets but I put all my money on you.” Kensrue’s practiced acoustic guitar is evident as is his harmonica work which is more tailored and pronounced than on the previous track, possibly showing off just how much he cherishes his girl’s fire.
“I Believe” has more acoustic guitar from Kensrue and rhythmic drum work from Jones. On this track, Kensrue croons about how he sees remnants of a past love in everyone he looks at, with lyrics like, “Seein’ your face in every child that smiles but I can’t help but rejoice…But I knew it was your voice…Put my fingers in your side…Now I’m sure that you're alive and it’s safe to say we’ll never know everything…It’s safe to say I really don’t know everything of that you still believe.” Kensrue seems to be saying that he is sure that an old flame of his was the one person who knew who he truly was inside and he cannot seem to vacate her from his mind.
Dustin Kensrue’s Please Come Home is filled with thought provoking tracks about people from the artist’s history, emotions he feels looking back on choices he made, and whether or not he regrets those decisions or revels in them.
