It’s been going on for months, but at last we’re getting the Covid-19 reward we deserve – yes, a lockdown era new release from those rock and roll gods The Long Ryders. A new single, of which ‘Down to the Well‘ is the A-side, a co-write by Stephen McCarthy/Greg Sowders in which the astute may be able to detect the faintest trace of political comment.
The B-side is no slouch either: it’s a rework of Sid’s ‘If You Want To See Me Cry‘. Both are worth a listen (or a purchase). Here’s that A-side though from the platter that truly matters.

This sounds like the Long Ryders that I have always loved.
