{"product_id":"lonnie-holley-national-freedom","title":"Lonnie Holley - National Freedom","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 5-song collaboration between artist Lonnie Holley and the late\r\nvisionary producer Richard Swift is a tribute to urgent, raw, American\r\nart - from Howlin' Wolf to Captain Beefheart, from Cecil Taylor to Bo\r\nDiddley. The songs pulse with anger, hope, energy and a bit of swagger.\r\nYou can hear sweat and tears through the speaker. Swift left us two years\r\nago today, but his spirit buzzes through these songs.\r\nDuring a West Coast tour with Deerhunter in late summer 2013, Holley\r\nwas put in touch with Swift by a friend who suggested using a day off\r\non tour to record at Swift's National Freedom Studio in Cottage Grove,\r\nOregon. Now rather legendary, Swift was in a breakout moment as a\r\nproducer having recently worked with artists like The Shins, Foxygen\r\nand Damien Jurado. Holley's essential debut album, Just Before Music,\r\nhad come out the year prior. The cosmic connection between Holley\r\nand Swift was immediate. They put down five songs in their day\r\ntogether: all conjured in the studio and one-of-a-kind.\r\nAt the end of that day in 2013, Swift - always up until the wee hours -\r\nmade a late night call to the friend who had set up the session. He was\r\neffusive about the experience - thrilled to have found a kindred spirit\r\nin Lonnie Holley and thankful to spend a day crafting unclassifiable,\r\nextemporaneous and soulful music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45296189210929,"sku":"656605238012","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/3867353-2643734.jpg?v=1684192276","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/lonnie-holley-national-freedom","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
