Will Griffith van The Great Dying! Hier de single track “Hurt Me”, volgende week stuur ik het hele album door. Het trieste weer dat bepaalde platenlabels interesse hadden maar geen stappen zetten. NU bijna twee en een half jaar aan een touwtje hebben gebungeld, besloten Dial Back Sound met Will Griffith het album maar zelf uit te brengen. Ik hoop dat het bevalt. Het album is afgelopen september uitgebracht.

The Great Dying - A Constant Goodbye
The music of Will Griffith’s The Great Dying is a mix he likes to call dark country. He grew up in Cleveland, Mississippi, where D.I.Y. punk house shows hooked him, and his early bands played The Farmhouse and legendary delta juke joint Po’ Monkey’s.
Songs from The Great Dying’s new album, A Constant Goodbye, were born from playing hundreds of shows supporting Bloody Noses & Roses (Dial Back Sound 2018), and it continues where the debut left off. The ballads are still sweet and menaced, the rockers are still hair-raisers, but the new record pushes in new directions, infusing sounds of classic country with faint traces of The Replacements and what was once called “alternative rock.” The tracks are layered and varied: wall-of-sound arrangements grind against flange-bass and fiddle, with Griffith’s barebones acoustic guitar and vocals at the root, and heartbreak all over.
