What it's about:
Andy Hull (the lead singer from Manchester Orchestra) uses this CD as a platform to launch his acoustic solo side project "Right Ahead, Great Captain!" It is the first part of a trilogy that details the adventures of a young sailor at sea who returns home only to discover his wife cheating on him with his brother.
This is as acoustic as it gets. It is only, and I mean only, Andy and his guitar. True, there are multiple guitar parts on the songs and harmonies mixing with the melodies, but it's all Andy. He recorded all the parts and wrote all the music. If you have ever listened to City & Colour, then I'd tell you it is a little like that. A little. But only a little.
All I can say is that you need to at least check this guy's solo music out. It's super catchy, and the fast-paced tracks somehow end up sounding full even without a backing band.
The best song on this CD is easily Right Ahead, Young Sailor!, but that's not to disrespect the rest of this record.
Rocks a little like:
City & Colour
Anything purely acoustic you've been listening too

Good find, man! This is sounding pretty awesome. When's the third one out?
