For years, singer-songwriter Riley Downing has collected stories about life's overlooked moments and underappreciated people. He's unearthed these tales of castaway truths and once-faded recollections for Landfill Poetry, a sophomore solo album and Oh Boy Records debut.A native of small-town Missouri who once worked as a backroad trashman before becoming one of music's weathered journeymen, the husky-voiced Downing may be best known as a member of noisemaking Americana outfit The Deslondes, a New Orleans-born band that he co-founded after a clandestine meeting with likeminded musicians at a folk festival in Oklahoma.On Landfill Poetry, his six-string worldbuilding takes listeners to the back of the trash truck ("Landfill Poetry"), inside the lonely hours of the graveyard paycheck ("Night Shift") and to the quiet moments after a hard day of work ("Porch Song").He sings for the restless ones who stay up way too late ("Hay Hay Hay") and the grandchildren who admire a hard-working compassion once shared between late loved ones ("Helen & Gene"). With each song, Downing uncovers sketches of life that once might've been lost to the landfill but instead are shared anew.
