Richmond Fontaine - You Can't Go Back If There's Nothing To Go Back To

Review by Dustin Lowman

As a career-closer, it delivers»

Buy now from:

The tenth studio album by Alt-Country kings, Richmond Fontaine is their first in five years. Recorded and produced in Portland, Oregon by John Askew at Flora Studios, 'You Can't Go Back If There's Nothing To Go Back To' features the stalwart lineup of Sean Oldham on drums, Dan Eccles on guitar, and Paul Brainard on pedal steel. Freddy Trujillo (The Delines) joins on bass for his first recording with Richmond Fontaine, and longtime friend Jenny Conlee (The Decemberists) plays keyboards with former bassist Dave Harding contributing some guitar after a move to Europe. While the atmosphere is familiar the songwriting is Vlautin's strongest to date matching his lyrics in depth.
