Description
Leave it to Langhorne Slim – a pioneer of raw, rule-breaking Americana for more than two decades – to reach far beyond the genre he helped inspire.
The Dreamin” Kind finds the Nashville transplant strapping on an electric guitar and embracing his longtime love of larger-than-life rock & roll. With it”s chugging power chords, 1970s-sized riffs, and richly layered arrangements, The Dreamin” Kind is fueled not only by sheer amplification, but by the soul-baring songwriting that”s become Slim”s calling card, too. Tucked between those anthems are acoustic-driven songs that skirt the outer orbits of folk music, from the bare-boned heartbreak of “”Stealin” Time”” to the organic, orchestral sweep of “”Dance On Thru.”” The result is the more explorative and expansive album of Slim”s career: a record made for rock clubs, campfires, and garages alike, produced by Greta Van Fleet”s Sam Kiszka, and anchored by a lifelong desire to break down new walls. “”It felt like I was blowing some old shit up so I could plant some new flowers,”” Slim says of the creation process. “”I love acoustic music. I love folk music. But those aren”t my only loves. Rock & roll has always tickled the same place in my soul as great singer-songwriter music, and I wanted to explore those influences. Raw songs that make you feel something: that”s the stuff I”m after.””
