Description
Originally released in 2014, Way Out Weather completes Steve Gunn’s satisfying transformation into a mature songwriter, singer and bandleader of subtlety and authority. The critically acclaimed Time Off (2013) – his first full-band album highlighting his vocals – represented the culmination of Steve’s steady 15 year migration from the fringes of the guitar avant-garde, where he is regarded as a prodigy, and towards his especial style of more traditionally informed songcraft. An enthusiastic and generous collaborator – recently he has partnered with Kurt Vile, Michael Chapman, Mike Cooper, The Black Twig Pickers, Cian Nugent – Gunn’s WOW band comprised longtime musical brothers Jason Meagher (bass, drones, engineering), Justin Tripp (bass, guitars, keys, production), and John Truscinski (drums), in addition to newcomers Nathan Bowles (drums, pianos, keys: Black Twig Pickers, Pelt); James Elkiington (guitar, lap steel, dobro: Freakwater, Jeff Tweedy); Mary Lattimore (harp, keys: Thurston Moore, Kurt Vile); and Jimmy Sei Tang (synths, electronics: Psychic Ills, Rhyton).
