Richard Gans Before the Poppies Bloom 12" Vinyl Record

Richard Gans' debut record 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

Manufactured to high quality standards for your home listening enjoyment by Burlington Record Pressing
