He is a founding member of the indie-rock band the Rugburns and collaborated on\nseveral songs with singer Jewel, including the 1996 single You Were Meant for Me, which\nreached number two in the US.\nJoyRide is my 14th solo album. I tour nonstop, so I usually have to be tricked into a studio\nunder the guise of just one song. Capturing me on tape is like convincing a whirling dervish\nto stop spinning long enough to sign a bill into law. It's chaos, caffeine, and accidental poetry\n art colliding with microphones and commerce in a glorious mess. That's how JoyRide\nhappened. No seatbelts, no helmets. Just unsaturated, unadulterated art. Real humans\nmaking real noise in real time.\nThe record opens with If It Bleeds It Leads my kinda classic mischief. Then comes\nPetrichor, inspired by the beautiful smell after it rains. (I later discovered Phish has one\ntoo, but mines the barefoot cousin at brunch.) At It Again follows, a cosmic co-write\nwith my brother-from-another-meerkat Jim Lauderdale, featuring Bryan Owings and Chris\nDonohue (Emmylou Harriss rhythm section). The title track JoyRide feels like a warm hug\nafter a long road trip: Free hugs, no shrugs, wrong drugs, bedbugs. Smiles, laughter, for\nhere ever after. Side one ends with The Son Of God. I will probably get crucified for this\nsong, but hopefully it will be an AI video made by an angry man living in his moms basement.\nSide two kicks off with Love a Little Bigger, a rowdy co-write with Vince Herman of Leftover\nSalmon. Fixin Up (track seven) is my secret favorite like a quarter from the Tooth Fairy\nyou gotta dig around for. New Tattoo follows about a dude who got his lovers face inked\non his own face. (Bad plan, good song.) Brand New Liver imagines swapping out your old\none like a water pump instead of quitting drinking. And then comes the closer Hairlift. That\none has my favorite line I've ever written: I used to play ping pong with my old friend Mao\nZedong. I thought he told me I was well hung, but he was speaking in the mother tongue.\nThat's JoyRide. Ten songs, no filter, no seatbelt, no map. Big thanks to Dex Green for being\nthe musical trickster who lured me into the studio. Party on, weirdos.\nSteve Poltz, Nashville","brand":"Steve Poltz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63801709724025,"sku":"033651033219","price":5.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/noirvinyl.com\/products\/joyride-lp-pink-vinyl","provider":"NOIR VINYL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
