Blackberry Rust Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Any other listeners on here? The new and final record by Richmond Fontaine released this year is an excellent work which I'd rank amongst their very best (Winnamuca, Post To Wire). It's sad they're fading out now, but they've had such an incredible run - one of the finest groups of this century. Doomy sadcore alt-country that really wraps itself around you.

Vacant Horizon Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I should like these dudes, but I just can't help thinking they really want to sound like Son Volt. Kind of like Ryan Adams in Whiskeytown. Will check out this new one though. Doesn't the frontman write novels too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I tend to think of them in that vein but shot through a bunch of Raymond Carver short stories. And on that note yep, Willy's a writer and that's now pretty much his bread. He's also leading this soul-country group The Delines who released the excellent Coflax in 2014. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Cool, will check those things out. Need to give them serious listen. They do have very cool song titles, album titles and album art. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
