Intertwined with interpretations of songs by Nick Drake, Townes Van Zandt, Mickey Newberry and Lyle Lovett, Steve Von Till's powerful yet subtly graceful originals stand on par with these time-honored songwriters.

Songs like the title track and "Looking For Dry Land" show Von Till coming into his own as a composer and arranger, perfectly adorning infectious songs with flourishes of swooping strings, pedal steel, organ, et al.

Where his previous releases showed reverence for the past, A Grave Is A Grim Horse peers directly forward, seeing a path where others see fields.
