Maggie Bjorklund

Coming Home

5.8 out of 10

A step past perfect … like too much salt in scrambled eggs; spoiled by that last, well-intentioned pinch. Sparse but unhelpful guest vocals are that extra salt in Coming Home. Otherwise, if I could eat a sound, I’d have the raw unsalted hum of Maggie Bjorklund on pedal steel guitar.

Reminds us of: Calexico | Leonard Cohen | Richmond Fontaine

Rating: 5.8
