Steve Abel has the perfect baritone voice for sad songs and it is usually sad songs that you get on a Steve Abel album. His album 'Luck Hope' from 2016 had an opening track that became a Bitter FM favourite. A voice similar to Bill Callahan (of Smog) and the music that could be from a Bonnie "Prince" Billy album are a couple of reasons "Best Thing" is such a standout. But add backing vocals and violin from Jolie Holland and the deal's done.
