Customer Reviews

Lost Son.........Lost Gold
Thank You Uncut Magazine, without you I would have never have gotten into this band. 'Post to Wire' has hardly been out of my CD player this year, it has been the album of 2004 for me. I got 'Winnemucca' as soon as it was re-released and that too is a brilliant album. I went to see Richmond Fontaine live last night and bought 'Lost Son' at the gig. Came home still reeling from how good the gig was, listening to the album. This is again essential listening for anyone who likes the band. It's loose, dark, moody, lyrical and just full of those intense stories Willy Vlautin tells in his songs. This album shows the rawer edge of the band, I hooked it into immediately. I've been playing it on repeat in my walkman all day! You've just got to get this one, you've just got to see the guys live. No group has rocked my boat as much since the early days of Whiskeytown, they eclipse everything else out there for sure.

Edgy, intense and soulful
Post to Wire & Winnemucca are the albums that made this band for me, the best thing out there by miles. The intensity of the songs and places they take you just blow anything else away. I bought Lost Son thinking that it would be approaching what they have achieved with Post To Wire, like a filler to my collection of their albums, but I wasn't prepared for the full rawness of this album. Mule for instance just leaves me stunned every time I hear it. If you like this band, then you MUST NOT overlook this album! You could probably not bother with Safety, but this one is a must have. I just can't stop playing it.
Music doesn't often get to be like this.
