In the ever-variable tradition of actors making records, Homeland/Billions star Damian Lewis is of the authenticity-seeking variety, i.e. he's more Billy Bob Thornton than David Hasselhoff. This means covers of 'Harvest Moon' and, more predictably but more successfully, J.J. Cale's 'After Midnight,' plus a clutch of warm, slightly jazzy originals in a similar rootsy vein. His voice is gently grizzled, whether adding grit to the otherwise supper-club 'Wanna Grow Old in Paris' or wigging out with reasonable conviction on 'She Comes.' Lyrically, he's a touch too desperate for edge on 'Soho Tango' ("you took me to the toilet, gave me coke," indeed); he seems to have a car accident in 'Makin' Plans,' and there's an all-round surfeit of sexual tension. But when everything gels on the excellent 'Down on the Bowery' and 'Zaragoza,' it's really quite, yes, authentic.
