Jason Weinheimer
Will records made during the pandemic carry their context with them into the future? Seems pretty likely
Jason Weinheimer’s new record will. “Faded,” out Feb. 26 under Weinheimer’s solo project The Libras, was concocted in a handful of home studios across the country makeshift and otherwise and features work from some heavy-hitting touring musicians who found themselves decommissioned and stuck at home for the last year or so. Among them, from The Libras’ album notes: Paul Griffith (John Prine, Amanda Shires), Al Gamble (St. Paul and the Broken Bones), Paddy Ryan (John Fullbright, Parker Milsap), Jesse Aycock (Hard Working Americans, Elizabeth Cook), Arnold Kim (Yellow Hope Project), Ambrosia Parsley (Shivaree), Chris Michaels, Charles Wyrick, Dylan Turner, Shawn Stroope, Steve Berlin (Los Lobos), Mark Franklin (Greg Allman, Cyndi Lauper) and Kirk Smothers (Bo Keys, Buddy Guy).
