Now that he’s headlining instead of just sharing concert bills, Jeff Black will get more of a chance to showcase songs from his impressive debut album, Birmingham Road (Arista Austin). The young troubadour’s evocative tales of restlessness, regret and bittersweet reminiscense unfold with an unhurried grace. And while the choruses often soar and swell, Black assiduously avoices melodrama. The rootsy accompaniment, mostly provided by members of the alternative country band Wilco, is similarly elegant and understated.
