{"product_id":"liam-grant-prodigal-son-vinyl","title":"Liam Grant - Prodigal Son","description":"\u003cp\u003eVHF debut and second widely-available LP by Liam, part of a new generation of underground \"\"American primitive\"\" guitar players serving the traditions and smashing them up simultaneously. Prodigal Son is a portrait of an artist on the road, changing fast, recording things as they spring from the fountain. The sound here is raw - grass and dirt instead of pre-fab; homemade\/handmade instead of high-tech, etc. There's a visceral quality and immediacy of culture that's being lost every day in modern life - Prodigal Son is a chance to grab some of it back. \"\"Palmyra\"\" has Liam on weissenborn-style lap steel, the sound fuzzed out and distorted by the guerilla recording technique. \"\"Salmon Tails Up The River\"\" stretches out to nearly 13 minutes, a dense meditation on 12 string that sustains a dark and heavy mood for the entire duration. On the B side, \"\"Insult to Injury\"\" reverses the mood, with an elegant and unhurried 12 string sequel of deep beauty. Liam's unexpected take on Loren Conners' \"\"A Moment at the Door\"\" is a perfect translation of Loren's reverb-heavy electric drift to unadorned acoustic (and tape hiss) - a frozen moment of absolute grace. Wrapping things up is a take on \"\"Old Country Rock,\"\" with fiddle and banjo, just a brief taste of the barnstorming old-time sound of Liam's touring trio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51602746245415,"sku":"783881016611","price":27.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4400165-3318949.jpg?v=1783472370","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/liam-grant-prodigal-son-vinyl","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
