Prodigal Son is a portrait of an artist on the road, changing fast, recording things as they spring from the fountain. The sound here is raw - grass and dirt instead of pre-fab; homemade\/handmade instead of high-tech, etc. There's a visceral quality and immediacy of culture that's being lost every day in modern life - Prodigal Son is a chance to grab some of it back. \"Palmyra\" has Liam on weissenborn-style lap steel, the sound fuzzed out and distorted by the guerilla recording technique. \"Salmon Tails Up The River\" stretches out to nearly 13 minutes, a dense meditation on 12 string that sustains a dark and heavy mood for the entire duration. On the B side, \"Insult to Injury\" reverses the mood, with an elegant and unhurried 12 string sequel of deep beauty. Liam's unexpected take on Loren Conners' \"A Moment at the Door\" is a perfect translation of Loren's reverb-heavy electric drift to unadorned acoustic (and tape hiss) - a frozen moment of absolute grace. Wrapping things up is a take on \"Old Country Rock,\" with fiddle and banjo, just a brief taste of the barnstorming old-time sound of Liam's touring trio.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Liam Grant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41393693982791,"sku":"44910327","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4400165-3318949.jpg?v=1736682694","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/grant-liam-prodigal-son","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
