Consummate troubadour and songwriter Tim Easton wrote much of his new album beneath a painting of a red horse. The artwork-created by his sister, visual artist Susan Easton Burns- nwas executed in an abstract-realist style using gardening tools instead of paintbrushes, forming a vivid image out of fragmented strokes. It now serves as the cover art for fIREHORSE, Easton's 14th commercially released record. Made with zero artificial intelligence, the album also arrives just as the Chinese calendar enters the Year of the (Fire) Horse-an apt coincidence given that Easton himself, born in 1966, is a Fire Horse. - fIREHORSE stands as another sturdy entry in the lifelong catalog of a songwriter committed to carving his own path-independent, driven, and devoted to craft, much like the Fire Horse itself. Easton spent seven years busking across Europe-hitchhiking, learning, and living the true vagabond life. Those experiences echo throughout fIREHORSE, an album that moves freely between country-blues, folk, pop, and classic rock while maintaining the sharp songwriting voice of a storyteller more than two decades into his craft. -
