Dave Alvin – Downey to Lubbock (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Dave Alvin carried the Blasters' blue-collar rock and roll out of Downey, California for decades before finding a natural road companion in Jimmie Dale Gilmore, whose Lubbock roots connect directly to the Flatlanders and the Texas singer-songwriter tradition. The geography in that title says everything about where American roots music lives, somewhere between the working-class Southwest and the wide-open plains, two distinct strands of the same restless spirit.
DOWNEY TO LUBBOCK was born by immaculate inspiration from live shows Grammy winner Dave Alvin and Grammy nominee Jimmie Dale Gilmore performed together in 2017. Just the two of them were swapping songs and cutting up, each with a guitar and a heart full of soul, musicians who ve been on the road their entire adult lives. The result is an album of blues, rock and folk inspired tunes that both of their fans will enjoy. The album contains 12 songs - 10 covers and two originals - and is destined to be a classic Americana album from two Americana legends.
