Description
With all the grace and grit of classic country music, singer-songwriter Richard Laviolette explores resiliency in the face of change, illness, and death on Taking The Long Way Home. Celebrating continuity and dignity, Richard pays tribute to generations of strong women, "My Grandma's More Punk (Than Most Punks I Know)," and loyal men, "The Rock And The Moss," while fearlessly documenting his own confrontations with mortality, "Someone To Tell My Story When I'm Gone," and "You've Really Got Me On The Run."
Drawing influence equally from the giants of traditional American folk and country music (Bill Monroe, George Jones, Doc Watson, Dolly Parton) and contemporary songwriters such as Gillian Welch, Jason Molina (Magnolia Electric Co./Songs:Ohia), and Phil Elverum (Mt. Eerie), Richard weaves together humor and despair in deeply moving and human songs "full of grief and praise; stories we all know."
