Limited vinyl LP-only pressing. After many years spent as a steadfast and inventive collaborator - not only playing bass and producing four albums with Hiss Golden Messenger, but in large part forging that band's sonic signature - multi-instrumentalist, recordist, and audio engineer, Scott Hirsch has finally made a solo album, called Blue Rider Songs. These recordings feature notable, and notably subtle, contributions from Jade Hendrix (harmony vox), Thomas Heyman (pedal steel), Hirsch's old bandmate The Court And Spark; and HGM stalwarts Phil Cook (organ and harmonica) and Matt Douglas (saxophones), among others. But as a primarily single-artist vision and statement, it does speak to the way that back roads, detours away from or around one's other, more high-profile creative pursuits, can lead to unexpected destinations arguably more compelling than anything the highways could provide.
