Corb Lund – El Viejo [Indie Exclusive Limited Edition Clear with Black & White Splatter LP – Includes Autographed Postcard]

Description

Ive been wanting to make a record like this for a long time. The band, Franny and I produced it ourselves in my living room with no adults present. Its all acoustic, not an electric lick on the albumbanjos and mandos and string basses and stripped-down drums. I put a ton of work into the tunes and Im pretty proud of this batch. Had a little help from my old co-writing pal Jaida Dreyer on a couple, also wrote a good one with my screenwriter buddy, Brian Koppelman. Lots of gambling songs and lots of minor keys. And my band guys absolutely killed it too, theyre all badasses.

Im dedicating the record to my old compadre, Ian Tyson, who passed away a few months back. Ive named the album for him as well. El Viejo, or the old one is what our mutual friend Tom Russell took to calling him in later years. The title track is a pretty special one for us.

We had a blast making this thing, and we hope you enjoy it too.
