Highway Winds

Description

Highway Winds is the sophomore album by the American singer and songwriter Wesley Randolph Eader, self-released in August 2016. The album was recorded on tape by Danny O’Hanlon at Bungalow 9 Studios in Portland, Oregon; with Wesley Randolph Eader, Eric Earley, and O’Hanlon producing. All songs written by Wesley Randolph Eader.

Featuring Wesley Randolph Eader (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica) with Eric Earley (harmony vocals, guitar, electric guitar, dobro, banjo, mandolin, piano, organ), Danny O’Hanlon (drums, percussion, upright bass, electric bass), Luke Price (fiddle), Laura Kucera (violin), Spencer Buckle (upright bass), Charlie Morris: Lap Steel), and Rachel Dial (harmony vocals).

Wesley Randolph Eader’s second full-length album ‘Highway Winds’ represents a new arrival and a second wind for the old-time inspired country/folk sing-songwriter from Portland, Oregon. It was recorded entirely on tape and mastered straight to vinyl and features a host of Portland musicians including Eric Earley (Blitzen Trapper), Luke Price (National Fiddle Champion), Danny O’Hanlon (Studio Engineer and Producer at Bungalow 9 Studios), Rachel Dial (Singer/Guitarist for Mero and SS Bungalow) and more. All these people have helped take Eader’s songs, which stand strongly by themselves, to an even higher level of interest to the listener. Nostalgic ridden Americana music lovers are sure to find ‘Highway Winds’ a more than suitable soundtrack for the road.
