CALIFONE – Roots & Crowns (2022 Repress) – LP – Vinyl

LP – Black Vinyl. Features cover design by Tim Rutilli, a new cover, unique from the first two pressings. Includes download code.

Tim Rutilis Chicago collective outdoes itself on this record, which sounds like ancient mountain and Delta traditions synthesized – scratched up, muddied, and re-imagined for an America more reliant on machines than the grace of God.

Califone is Tim Rutilli (Loftus, Dirty Three, Red Red Meat), Ben Massarella (Loftus, Modest Mouse, Red Red Meat), Joe Adamik (Orso, Iron and Wine), and Jim Becker (Iron and Wine, Bitchin Bajas, Orso).

Back on vinyl after being sold out for almost 10 years after the first 2 runs of vinyl sold out.
