The Long Ryders: September November, 12″ Vinyl Edition
Long Ryders (The)

• First album in four years from the band who helped invent Alt-country and Americana.

• New studio album by The Long Ryders, the follow up the critically acclaimed ‘Psychedelic Country Soul’.

The album’s songs are all originals by guitarist/mandolinist Sid Griffin (author of the Bob Dylan “Basement Tapes” book Million Dollar Bash), guitarist /pedal step player Stephen McCarthy (who also plays with the Jayhawks and the Dream Syndicate) with help from longtime Long Ryders drummer Greg Sowders.

Produced by Ed Stasium, best known for his long relationship as producer and engineer for the Ramones. Ed has also produced two previous Long Ryders’ records and worked with Smithereens, Soul Asylum, Motörhead, Marshall Crenshaw, Living Colour, the Hoodoo Gurus and Julian Cope.

Long Ryder Sid Griffin states September November is “two thirds the distilled alt- country genre we helped found back in the 1980s, one third Paisley Underground adventurism yet seasoned with a dash of our own crazed soulfulness thrown in.”

Due to the unexpected passing of bassist Tom Stevens, bass duties on the new album were shared by Murry Hammond of Americana stalwarts the Old 97s and the Long Ryders’ own Stephen McCarthy. Guests appearing in the album include D. J. Bonebrake of Los Angeles’s punk legends X and Royal Academy of Music violinist Kerenza Peacock of the Coal Porters (now a popular L.A. session player for Disney and the Los Angeles Philharmonic).
