{"product_id":"riley-downing-landfill-poetry-cd","title":"Riley Downing – Landfill Poetry (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOh Boy Records has been home to John Prine, Iris DeMent, and Kris Kristofferson, artists who built careers on finding the extraordinary inside ordinary American lives. Downing fits that lineage naturally. The Deslondes brought a ramshackle, communal energy to their New Orleans-rooted sound, but this is Downing stepping out front alone, trading in the noise for something quieter and harder to shake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor years, singer-songwriter Riley Downing has collected stories about life's overlooked moments and underappreciated people. He's unearthed these tales of castaway truths and once-faded recollections for Landfill Poetry, a sophomore solo album and Oh Boy Records debut.A native of small-town Missouri who once worked as a backroad trashman before becoming one of music's weathered journeymen, the husky-voiced Downing may be best known as a member of noisemaking Americana outfit The Deslondes, a New Orleans-born band that he co-founded after a clandestine meeting with likeminded musicians at a folk festival in Oklahoma.On Landfill Poetry, his six-string worldbuilding takes listeners to the back of the trash truck (\"\"Landfill Poetry\"\"), inside the lonely hours of the graveyard paycheck (\"\"Night Shift\"\") and to the quiet moments after a hard day of work (\"\"Porch Song\"\").He sings for the restless ones who stay up way too late (\"\"Hay Hay Hay\"\") and the grandchildren who admire a hard-working compassion once shared between late loved ones (\"\"Helen \u0026amp; Gene\"\"). With each song, Downing uncovers sketches of life that once might've been lost to the landfill but instead are shared anew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLandfill Poetry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry Fool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHurt to Fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelen ; Gene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight Shift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHay Hay Hay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLike I Always Was\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolecat Holler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorch Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast Day of Mardi Gras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 608870757729\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oh Boy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.28.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48931216294043,"sku":"258067625","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-riley-downing-landfill-poetry-cd-relix.jpg?v=1784153437","url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/riley-downing-landfill-poetry-cd","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
