ABOUT GILL LANDRY
'Love Rides A Dark Horse' (album) breaks new ground for Landry with contributions from fiddler Ross Holmes (Mumford & Sons, Bruce Hornsby), keyboard player Skylar Wilson (Andrew Combs, Rayland Baxter), and drummer Logan Matheny (Roman Candle, Rosebuds), the songs explore a more seductive, stripped-down sound built upon a hushed sense of intimacy that calls to mind Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits. The album's tattered narratives cast aside romanticism in favor of reality.

"This is not a blues album, though if someone asked me what kind of music I write, Id like to say blues. Blues singing is an exorcism of the blues itself, and thats how I relate to what I write. This album for me is an attempt to shine a light on my various traps and sorrows as well as explore their emotional depths. I try to purge hard times in song and can only hope that through sharing these glimpses of hard-to-pin-down emotions, others may feel less alone. So thats how I approach songwritinghopefully not wasting anyones time, and contributing meaningfully to the conversation within the songs of man." - Gill Landry
