We know Craig Brown from cool garage rock outfits such as Liquor Store, The Mahonies and Terrible Twos, but with his own Craig Brown Band it becomes clear what else he has to offer – an alt-country jacket appears to suit him very well. After his 2017 The Lucky Ones Forget LP (on Third Man Records), he returns with Let’s Never Leave This Filthy World (new on Lazy Boy Record Co., a cassette was already available via Painters Tapes last year). It’s a warm and richly orchestrated album, diverse and fascinating, with 12 raw and honest roots rock songs that become more convincing with every listen. Brown’s intense, raspy tenor and characterful guitar sound get under your skin, but the affecting contributions of his skilled bandmates certainly contribute to this. Detroit Rock City strikes again.
Let’s Never Leave This Filthy World is out now streaming and on vinyl LP through Lazy Boy Record Co. For fans of Tom Petty, Country Westerns, Reigning Sound, Loose Koozies.
