Mike Richmond – Without An Audience (CD)
Product Details
Richmond's project arrives at a moment when roots music is reckoning with its own debts, asking who gets remembered and why. Spanning blues, country, and Southern literary tradition, the album draws a through-line from the Mississippi Delta to the Georgia backroads, tracing the same currents that shaped everyone from Gram Parsons to Howlin' Wolf long before either found an audience.
Without An Audience is a tribute to artists who created in silence, like Van Gogh, Emily Dickinson and Robert Johnson, whose genius was only recognized after death, as well as to those whose voices reached the world in their time, Elvis, Gram Parsons, Howlin' Wolf, Flannery O'Connor, and Faulkner. It's also a love letter to the American South, it's music, it's writers, it's backroads, and it's old Victorian mansions.
