The War On Drugs "Wagonwheel blues" Secretly Canadian
Dalle strade di Philadelphia un nuovo assaggio di quello che è il perfetto songbook americano. Echi di gioventù sonica nelle tessiture chitarristiche e rimandi ai grandi autori americani, Bruce Springsteen e Tom Petty su tutti, nelle melodie vocali come nelle liriche. Un manipolo di canzoni ispirate ad un'epopea ormai classica.
Picture a girl, a little bit sad, all by herself, sitting on her couch, sipping tea, knitting, watching movies, popping hydrocodone while trying to breathe through her right nostril, and seriously missing you guys. Great to see you (and meet you). Come back much sooner, and feel free to sleep on my couches and make me breakfast and French press coffee any time!
So pleased that you're playing our place on 20th August - we've been playing Wagonwheel Blues every night for the past two weeks and people are loving it.
Hey, Adam. It's Marc (formerly of Tulsa). I heard you a ton on the Sirius yesterday and thought I'd look you up. My van was busted into a few months back and all the CDs in there were stolen. Among the thieved was the copy of your stuff that you gave me at SXSW 2007. It looks like it ended up in the hands of Secretly Canadian (unless they masterminded the whole thing from the start)and they have released it. Just giving you a heads up that you may want to find yourself a good lawyer. It's a crazy world man, best of luck.
