Thursday at Crossroads KC: Hiss Golden Messenger

M.C. Taylor’s soulful, North Carolina-based folk-rock act has been on a tear the last few years, touring relentlessly and releasing new music at a frenzied pace. Most of it is quite good — earnest but rollicking, it strives for the mystical purity of giants like John Prine, the Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, even the Meters. Thursday evening at Crossroads KC, Hiss opens for St. Paul & the Broken Bones, a six-piece soul act hailing from Birmingham, Alabama.
