I think about that music often, especially a song like \u201cFlorida,\u201d and I think about these words always: \u201cI promise you my teeth if you promise me your hand. I\u2019m going to give you the most beautiful funeral that I possibly can. We may never grow old but we sure as hell can\u2019t stay young.\u201d Dollbaum is an archivist and curator I look to for guidance in my own remembering. He\u2019s part <em>Jesus\u2019 Son<\/em>-age Denis Johnson and part <em>Nebraska<\/em>-age Bruce Springsteen; his words, fenced by weapons of Americana and swampy, twangy pastorals, will show you life and death through the necessary, oft-harsh artifacts found in-between. But there is beauty in that, just as there is beauty in Dollbaum\u2019s new EP, <em>Drive All Night<\/em>. Tracked by Clay Jones in Mississippi two years ago, Dollbaum\u2019s longtime co-conspirators Kate Teague and Josh Halper are back again, interpreting the sounds and movements of his folktales and histories.<\/p>\n<div id=\"revcontent-hidden\">\n<p>Dollbaum likens these songs to James Wright\u2019s \u201cLying in a Hammock at William Duffy\u2019s Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota,\u201d and it\u2019s impossible to think of \u201cLives of Saints\u201d or \u201cAngus Valley\u201d in any way but Wright\u2019s poem\u2019s concluding revelation: \u201cI have wasted my whole life.\u201d These songs stick with you, just as Dollbaum\u2019s art always has. \u201cI wrote <em>Drive All Night<\/em> after I learned that an old friend had unexpectedly passed away,\u201d he says. \u201cEven though we hadn\u2019t been close for years, I spent a lot of time remembering him. These songs are my recollection of memories and places we grew up in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Stream the EP in full below.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 704px;\" seamless=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1284638223\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/tracklist=true\/tracks=2887416999,2553700215,3617127099,1557802242,3617766084,1762798592\/esig=7ec4d99bbc5a7f6d1b7808155b9d3793\/\" class=\"lazyload\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thomasdollbaum.bandcamp.com\/album\/drive-all-night\">Drive All Night by Thomas Dollbaum<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.pastemagazine.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the best records you\u2019ve never heard is Wellswood, the 2022 LP from New Orleans picker and talker Thomas Dollbaum.
