Buck Meek is out with his third album “Haunted Mountain.” It is an accessible and ear-pleasing fusion of twangy guitar and lovely lyrics honoring the heart. Written in the mountains of Portugal and the Swiss Alps, the songs succeed in tackling the songwriter’s willingness to listen, learn and love. The title track, “Haunted Mountain,” bristles with a positivity, writes The Associated Press’ Ron Harris. Meek also took unpublished lyrics of the late folk singer-songwriter Judee Sill and made a short and sweet song, “The Rainbow.” In all, “Haunted Mountain” is a jangly collection of country chord structure with moments of electronic swoon, lush reverb and guitars in overdrive.
