{"product_id":"riley-downing-landfill-poetry","title":"RILEY DOWNING - LANDFILL POETRY","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003eFor years, singer-songwriter Riley Downing has collected stories about life’s overlooked moments and under appreciated people. He’s unearthed these tales of castaway truths and once-faded recollections for Landfill Poetry, a sophomore solo album and Oh Boy Records debut. A native of small-town Missouri who once worked as a backroad trashman before becoming one of music’s weathered journeymen, the husky-voiced Downing may be best known as a member of noisemaking Americana outfit The Deslondes, a New Orleans-born band that he co-founded after a clandestine meeting with likeminded musicians at a folk festival in Oklahoma. On Landfill Poetry, his six-string world building takes listeners to the back of the trash truck (“Landfill Poetry”), inside the lonely hours of the graveyard paycheck (“Night Shift”) and to the quiet moments after a hard day of work (“Porch Song”). He sings for the restless ones who stay up way too late (“Hay Hay Hay”) and the grandchildren who admire a hard-working compassion once shared between late loved ones (“Helen \u0026amp;\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGene”).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith each song Downing uncovers sketches of life that once might’ve been lost to the landfill but instead are shared anew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
