Richmond Fontaine
Winnemucca RSD 2024
Record Store Day Exclusive Release
Deluxe Edition of Richmond Fontaine's 2002 album Winnemucca with a bonus track recorded for the album but never on the original CD release. Red Gold colour vinyl in deluxe gatefold sleeve with hype sticker. Combining elements of country and folk music, the members of Richmond Fontaine provide a compelling backdrop for the heart wrenching tales of lead singer Willy Vlautin. His Carver-esque lyrics bring a vision of the West which is both vital and compelling. Bleak characters occupy the songs, ready to break out of the prison everyday life has brought them. Wistful pedal steel, melodic bass, jazz inflected drumming and ringing electric guitar serve as the only escape from Richmond Fontaine's songs
