Thee essential MMJ record. A voice that's both honey & charcoal, deep Southern gothic canvases with gracious acoustic and electric guitars, painterly strokes of harpsichord, harmonica, lap steel, drums swimming in the deepest, darkest, widest pools of reverb, dirigible harmonies that will have you weeping, incensed atmosphere so thick, it's absolutely biblical. '...there's an undercurrent of fatalist resignation that rolls over you like the late-afternoon summer sun' - CMJ. 'At Dawn could be the perfect soundtrack to a summer road trip, or just something you wrap around yourself on the way to work each morning. 14 tracks. Darla. 2001.
