Liam Grant- Prodigal Son

Liam Grant’s Prodigal Son lands on VHF like a lightning strike, a second album that digs deep into the American primitive guitar vein while cranking the distortion and letting the tape hiss sing. “Palmyra” snarls with lap steel grit, “Salmon Tails Up The River” unfurls a 13-minute 12-string epic of road-worn heft, and “Old Country Rock” kicks up a fiddle-and-banjo dust storm—together, they’re a rough-hewn love letter to the wild, unpolished heart of the instrument.
