LOWERY,DAVID - FATHERS SONS AND BROTHERS Vinyl LP

David Lowery (Cracker, Camper Van Beethoven) to release his new 28-track solo album "Fathers, Sons and Brothers", a musical autobiography, celebrating his youth, family, friends and the highs and lows of his lengthy 40-year career in the music business.The album combines three of David's previously online-only released autobiographical solo albums In The Shadow of the Bull, Leaving Key Member Clause, and Vending Machine, and also includes four new previously unreleased songs, as well as four newly re-recorded tracks.Lowery let's his memory, and pen, traverse back to some of his earliest memories as a child in an English seaside town ("Frozen Sea"). He chronologically takes us through his youth ("Papa, do they really kill the bull?") and carries on through his coming-of-age period. He recalls moving away from his loving parents' home ("Mom, I'm Living the Life"), starting a band ("I Wrote A Song Called Take The Skinheads Bowling") and then goes onto detail an early love that sadly disintegrated due to his own self-described anger and selfishness ("Mexican Chickens").The album further delves into the ups and downs of his music careers with both groups (tapping into CVB band tensions on "We Hate You" and Cracker's quick rise to fame on "It Don't Last Long"). He recalls hooking up with his future ex-wife in Richmond, VA ("Pretty Girl from Oregon Hill"), and details friends, family, children, divorce and more.By the end of this lengthy, insightful album, you get the feeling that you really know this artist, just as every good autobiography worth it's salt does. Thankfully this one just happens to be bound with some truly gorgeous melodies and songs. David Lowery's new solo album "Fathers, Sons and Brothers" will be available as a 3-LP Limited Edition vinyl gatefold set with 12-page booklet.
