6Panel Digisleeve 1xCD 8 page booklet.Punk veteran. Rock amp Roll Hall of Fame inductee. Americana and rock songwriter. Modernday guitar hero. For more than 25 years, Chris Shiflett has blurred the lines between genre and generation, balancing his fullband projects with a thriving solo career.nbspHe turns a new page withnbspLost at Sea, a solo record that builds a bridge between Nashville mdash where Shiflett has become a frequent visitor, performing on the Grand Ole Opry one minute and collaborating with Music City tastemakers like Jaren Johnston and Dave Cobb the next mdash and his native California. Caught halfway between the honkytonk saloon and the punkrock dive bar,nbspLost at Seanbspis both eclectic and electric, making room for altcountry crunch, guitardriven grit, and sharp songwriting. Tying that mix together is Shiflett himself a musical Renaissance Man whose influences are every bit as wideranging as his resumeacute.nbspShiflett recorded the majority ofnbspLost at Seanbspin Nashville, working with producer and collaborator Jaren Johnstonmdashfrontman of the Cadillac Three, as well as the songwriter behind nearly a dozen Number 1 country hitsmdashand a small cast of Americana allstars. Among them were fellow guitar slingers Worsham, Bukovac, and Nathan Keeterle, all three of whom laced the record with fiery fretwork. He also teamed up with a number of cowriters, partnering with Kendell Marvel, Cody Jinks, and others to fill Lost at Sea with storylines that pack as hefty a punch as the music itself.Lost at Seanbspshowcases the full range of Shifletts abilities. There are harmonized guitar solos worthy of Thin Lizzy, amplified country anthems, and rootsrockers steeped in Tom Pettys influence. The breakneck pace and palmmuted guitars of Parties salute Shifletts early days within the Bay Area punk scene, while Damage Control mdash with its layers of reverb, pulsing percussion, and Echoplex tape delay mdash flirts with the atmospheric dub music that Lee Scratch Perry introduced. Everything is grounded in melody. Shiflett nods to his heroes throughout, but he charts his own territory, too, whipping up a diverse sound thats distinctly his own.nbspnbspAll preorders also receive a digital download ofnbspThe 606 Sessions,nbspfeaturing four alternate versions of songs fromnbspLost At SeanbspBlack Top White Lines, Dead and Gone, Damage Control, and Overboard.01.
