In the ’90s and ’00s, the Denver-based band 16 Horsepower perfected their own grandly gothic form of country-rock. They were obsessed with religion and apocalypse, and frontman David Eugene Edwards had a leathery gravitas — like a version of Nick Cave who was actually American, rather than just one that was obsessed with American iconography. 16 Horsepower broke up in 2005, and Edwards kept going with his side project Wovenhand. Next week, he’ll release Mercurial Silence, his second solo album. But now, 16 Horsepower are back together, playing shows.
