Clsssic Album Review: Simon Joyner | Lost With the Lights On

Nebraskan singer-songwriter Simon Joyner’s first eight albums haven’t exactly been hits.

And sadly, I doubt his ninth full-length Lost With the Lights On — a rambling, shambling work of bleak Dylanesque troubadourism spurred by loneliness, loss and regret — is gonna make him a star. But it might make him your new favourite songwriter.
