The new (first?) solo project from Golden Boots co-frontman, Ryen Eggleston with help from other Boots members and Todd and Alec from Clap Yr Hands Say Yeah and Birdie Busch. Hand painted and stencilled by Ryen, who is one of my favorite visual artists (I own at least a dozen of his paintings and tape art pieces).

Limited to 50 copies, and I only have 23 to sell, the rest went to my archive or to Ryen.

ARTIST BLURB:

OutDoors “anti-imperialist country punk folk music”

Outdoors makes slow-burning songs—stark, unadorned, and focused on the effects of greed and the need for collective care in a fractured world. There’s a similar sensibility to artists like Jason Molina, Silver Jews, or Lou Reed: plainspoken, emotionally direct music rooted in American song traditions.
The project emerges from the DIY music scene in Tucson, Arizona, where Ryen Eggleston has been a steady hand for 25 years as co-captain of the band Golden Boots as well as a multitude of other projects.

This lathe features the first track from the upcoming full length vinyl courtesy of PIAPTK & Haystack Records;
“Tightwire Two-Step” recorded at Oracle Recording Studio(Oracle, AZ) with Dimitri Manos (drums), Sean Rogers (bass), Emily Xander (keys) as well as bonus collaborative cut of
Stephen Foster’s American classic “Hard Times” recorded in Philadelphia, Pa at Sparkle Bones Studio with Birdie Busch (vocals), Todd Erk (bass, engineering), & Alec Ounsworth (vocals).
