This is the first of two solo releases from a man widely regarded as a musical and artistic genius. He is also well known as the lead singer of Thrice. "Please Come Home" has been received a bit differently, being an entirely acoustic album. Kensrue exhibits a wide vocal range and prowess, with a bluesy-soul element one may not have known about until this record. The lyrics have a biblical undertone, but not nearly as prominent as on his work with Thrice. It's symbolic at times, but in simple ways. There are themes of longing, drug abuse, firearms, deeply fulfilling love, and truth. With only eight tracks, it is a shorter album, but displays a variance of musical styles from slow acoustic, to folk, to a sort of vintage rockabilly. Kensrue really lets loose on this album, in a way, breaking free from the way he's been musically typecast by his work with Thrice. There are many similarities, but if you're not a fan of Thrice I'd still encourage you to listen to this album. It's more inspired, and soulful, with a cleaner acoustic delivery.
