Whether delivering 21st century rockabilly and blues tunes, country and Americana ballads or retro soul, singer-songwriter
Jeremie Albino
has been wowing listeners and critics with his recordings and live shows since long before releasing his 2019 debut
Hard Times
. The hallmark of his songwriting lie in deeply resonant lyrics reflecting his life, and those of his neighbors in Prince Edward County, Ontario.
Our Time in the Sun

is less frenetic than its predecessors. Its 12 songs were composed in the studio and recorded immediately after. Its warm, sparse, organic sound recalls the era of vintage dive bar jukeboxes. Its songs are direct in lyric simplicity and more powerful because of it. Check the choogling, midtempo shuffle in opener "I Don't Mind Waiting."
's grainy baritone is gruffly romantic; he inhabits the lyrics like a man saved from drowning. The layered guitars, piano, horns and vocals reminiscent of the late great Muscle Shoals singer-songwriter

. "Baby Its Cold Outside" is modeled after the
Rolling Stones
of
Exile on Main St.
Its raw, shambolic but hangs together, cutting across country-soul, honky tonk and even blues. Albimo expresses real vulnerability to his beloved in roughly tender songs such as the retro midtempo soul ballad "Let Me Lay My Head." The title track commences as a folk waltz with acoustic and electric guitars.
relates the aftermath of a lengthy romantic relationship as the raw mix swells, strains and ultimately swells. Its companion, "Give It To Me One More Time," is a mirror image as Albino argues for the importance of the relationship. Single "Rollin' Down the 405" rambles and rocks. It's a loose, raucous boogie with stinging slide guiitars, keyboards, horns and massive drums. "Trouble With the Bottle" is an R&B-tinged soul rocker that could have come from Goldwax Records in the mid 1960s. Things get deep blue (with a bubbling percussive backbeat) on "Dinner Bell." Albimo's proved his blues chops time and again and amid biting slide guitar and spooky organ, he does so again. "Since I Been Knowin' You," is an edgy yet sweet, love song drenched in R&B. "Gimme Some," balances a
Jesse Colin Young
-esque balladry with
Hinton
's grit and grace. Closer "Hold Me Tight" is an shuffling acoustically-based love song that contains one of
's finest linmes: When the love gives way to struggle / Tell me who's taking care of who? Despite the quality of his earlier releases,
offers a new, mature standard in writing and recording North American roots music. ~ Thom Jurek
