Langhorne Slim

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Something of a one-man mixture of the Cramps, Beck's early indie records (circa One Foot in the Grave), and the soundtrack to {#O Brother Where Art Thou}, singer and guitarist Langhorne Slim offers a sardonic, modern take on traditional folk, country, and blues. Fancifully dubbed "the bastard son of Hasil Adkins" in some of his early press releases, Langhorne Slim is in fact a Pennsylvania native who resettled in Brooklyn after his graduation from the State University of New York at Purchase. After a self-released demo garnered some local and online ...[more]

The debut album from gifted song man Langhorne Slim reissued including five previously unreleased songs! That's 20 tracks of heartbreaking, foot-stompin', and shuffling blues, country and rock'n'roll flavors. Includes a couple of backing players on upright bass and drums. "Langhorne Slim expertly walks the line between the sublime and the subterranean.
