DC based Americana troubadour returns with excellent, escapist new album
Released Dec 1st, 2020 / By Clementine Lloyd When we last heard a peep from Mr Lipton in 2016, his latest offering was a “sun-dappled, grass between the toes, a little slice of long missing comfort†kind of jam. The sense that his boots were firmly in the dirt of those ol’ country yarns was deep. Pervasive. And let us tell you—today is no different.
We have classic moving music, with the “ten months on the road†of the opener, bleeding into second track Turn The Volume Up. It extols the vice and virtues of living on four wheels with classic pacing and lilting riffs. However, the rising crescendo of instruments that greets us, brittle yet yielding, doffs a cap to Lipton’s expanding musical tool-shed.
