Rose City Band - Summerlong (2020)
Ripley Johnson (Wooden Shjips, Moon Duo) quietly released a solo album (with friends) this spring. Imagine, back in 1972, J.J. Cale, Eric Clapton, and Jerry Garcia got together and recorded an album and you will have an idea what the Rose City Band sounds like. Summerlong was mixed by John McEntire (Stereolab, Broken Social Scene, Tortoise) at his newly minted Portland Soma Studios and mastered by Amy Dragon at Telegraph Mastering, also based in Portland.
