Phoenix songwriter Caleb Dailey's voice is a warm, enveloping thing. On his solo debut, 2022 LP Warm Evenings, Pale Mornings: Beside You Then, he applied it to a survey of country and western music, covering songs by Gordon Lightfoot, Waylon Jennings, Blaze Foley, Chip Moman, and more. But the album was far from an exercise in retro country—in these timeworn songs, Dailey finds a site for experimentation, ambient textures, and smoked out soundscapes. For his Lagniappe session, brings a similar sense of vision and mystery to selections by Skeeter Davis and NRBQ, Leroy Van Dyke, and Lucinda Williams . . .
