Every great American songwriter needs to stake a claim for the town that feels most like home, and with his 10th album, the man who came out of the gate calling himself “Philly’s constant hitmaker” has crafted a love letter to the city he never left, even as his career took him around the world. Kurt Vile’s Philadelphia’s been good to me illustrates his love for his home city, where he still resides and records most of his music. This album includes his distinct jangly guitars, soaring instrumental passages, and lyrics that are both cheeky and sentimental at the same time.
