Shlomo Franklin - Outlier Inn Sessions - Video Premiere

               Shlomo Franklin keeps his ear to the musical ground of the past, you can almost hear those trains that once carried Woody Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack rumbling up through each of his songs. A beatnik spirit and a poets heart, Franklin has a gruff, rich voice which reminds one of Steve Forbert, but his songs, like anyone's, are his own, and bear the unique perspective of a lively and extremely gifted songwriter whose greatest quality is his ability to take the old and make it brand new again. Music that doesn't compromise, shuns the slick and opts for the truth, the long dusty roads in and out of town, the heartbreaks, universal wonderings and wanderings, fishing at the edge of the stream, watching the sun come up on a hard night, Franklin is the very best of American songwriting living on in its new, bold, old-soul spirits. To listen is to dance is to wail is to get a little too close to the sun, is to know what damn fine songwriting is all about.

              Last year Franklin recorded a live session at Outlier Inn, and Anti-Heroin Chic is proud to premiere the video below.


Shlomo will be playing Rockwood Music Hall at 9:00 on Aug. 24th.
