The 1st album in 4 years from the band who helped invent alt country and americana. New studio album by The Long Ryders, the follow up to their successfully received 2018 album, "Psychedelic Country Soul", this is a new chapter of the Long Ryders storied musical history.
The album’s songs are all originals by guitarist and mandolinist Sid Griffin, and guitarist and pedal steel player Stephen McCarthy. Produced by Ed Stasium, best known for his long relationship as producer and engineer for the Ramones. Ed has also produced 2 previous Long Ryders’ records and worked with Smithereens, Soul Asylum, Motörhead, Marshall Crenshaw, Living Colour, the Hoodoo Gurus and Julian Cope.
Long Ryder guitarist and mandolinist Sid Griffin states "September November" is “2 3rds the distilled alt country genre we helped found back in the 80's, 1 3rd Paisley Underground adventurism, yet seasoned with a dash of our own crazed soulfulness thrown in”.
"The boat is pushed out on this one, the album reeks of time passing, friendships made and lost, love and redemption found, new musical horizons, and of course the loss of Tom Stevens, the band’s bass player for over 40 years".
"We cannot give too many secrets away so early in the year but Tom does feature on the album. And to be frank the guys consider this the best record they ever made".
