RED TAIL

Vinyl LP pressing. Almost two decades into a prolific career, Dave Simonett still leans into a microphone like he s counting on a stranger. Guitar slung at the ready, he s comfortable but bemused. Whether he s fronting beloved acoustic roots kings Trampled By Turtles or acclaimed side project Dead Man Winter, Simonett has an ideal songwriters voice - a beautiful but subtle workhorse that s easy to take for granted. But ultimately, he s right to point to his songs, because oh, what songs they are: conversational and poetic, his lines lilt with aching cadence as they land like phrases someone would actually say. Its art that feels real.'
