Honky-Tonk Friday - Lewi Longmire’s new record “fire `neath the still”
I sat on this disc for about a week and half. Repeated visits to Elbo.ws confirmed that no one else was touching it. It’s a stretch to put Lewi Longmire in honky-tonk Friday; not that he can’t honky and tonk with the best of them; it’s just that he’s got a more subtle style than that. So please don’t typecast Lewi on the basis of this one bawdy, drunken, heartbroken country tune. The whole record is much more varied than this one song.
Lewi’s being presented as the ultimate sideman by his publicist. He’s played with countless bands including Michael Hurley, Victoria Williams and Tara Jane Oneil. In his new hometown of Portland, Oregon he is the go-to guitarist for just about every americana tinged band. But soon it’ll be his solo work that hopefully will put him on the map, starting with the new record fire `neath the still.
You can buy the new record fire `neath the still here via CD Baby.
