Remembered

A personal highlight among all Touch & Go staffers that attended All Tomorrow’s Parties UK 2003 was P.W.’s crushing solo acoustic set. About as genuine a voice as you’ll find, P.W. has come the long way around through rock and punk and hardened electric country blues to deliver us a sort of panoramic view of the hard lives that everyday people live. Some voices keep getting better with age (we’re missing you, Mr. Cash). P.W. Long’s songs conjure whiskey, gravel, the America that works for a living and the mistakes people make.
