I know a tiny bit about Kip Boardman because his debut record came out on the excellent, but practically extinct, Boronda Records. Charlie McGovern was the label prez and has great taste. Anything on the label was invariably of high quality. Kip’s back on a new label with his third release titled The Long Weight.
The new record is being compared to the great American songbooks of Harry Nillson, Paul Simon, Randy Newman and Allan Toussaint. The songs below are laid back and Kip is a fairly humble, low key, kind of guy. So that makes it kind of hard to hype this release and I bet that is just fine with Kip. This came out on March 15 but some retailers won’t have it til April. Buy one of the last 5 copies Amazon has here.
