‘The Journey From Grape To Raisin’ is Long Ryders co-founder Sid Griffin’s first solo album in a decade. It was recorded in Nashville with his trusted producer, Thomm Jutz (Nanci Griffith, Otis Gibbs, Steve Young), and dear friends such as legendary bassist Mark Fain (Ricky Skaggs, Chris Hillman) and session whiz Tammy Rogers (Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood). ‘The Journey From Grape To Raisin’’s eleven songs include ten Griffin originals and one campfire cover of, get ready, the Velvet Underground’s ‘Femme Fatale’. When asked about the sessions and the album as a whole, Griffin smiles and calls ‘The Journey From Grape To Raisin’ “my career highlight, the best work I am ever likely to do. Heaven forbid I should go but if I did I’d die happy.” An acclaimed author and musicologist, Griffin has published several books and written liner notes for Bob Dylan, The Band, The Byrds and Hank Williams, among others.

LP available on turquoise vinyl.
