Richard Gans |PRE-ORDER| Before the Poppies Bloom 12" Vinyl Record

Richard Gans' debut album Before the Poppies Bloom out Friday November 21st, 2025 is available now for pre-order

Gans carries on the torch of the great prophets of the American Highway, transforming two lanes and open country into the mythic realm where the soul seeks all the salvation a rumbling engine can offer. Townes Van Zandt spent his later years singing Bruce Springsteen’s Racing in the Streets - Gans worships at the same altars with an honest voice that speaks to the hardships of life and gives hope for the patient faith that is required to make the long journey back to the place that you really want to go
