Annotation
Lost in the West is a soundtrack for the invisible cinema of the mind. It features seven songs combining Reed's powerful lyrics and vocal performance set against wide-open landscapes painted with Stratocaster and Wurlitzer, creating a sound that is intensely emotive while still tender. These are songs to fill the long stretches of highway we seek on a sweltering Sunday with a foot easy on the gas and thoughts heavy on the mind, hoping to get lost in the West. A deeply talented and accomplished cast joins Reed as producers, performers, and co-writers on this record. Co-producers John Raham (engineer and drummer for The Be Good Tanyas) and Jefferson Hamer (The Child Ballads, 2014 BBC Radio 2 award-winner) return after their first collaboration on Once an Ocean. John also delivers a masterful performance on percussion, and Jefferson's varied guitar work shines throughout the record. Anaïs Mitchel (Young Man In America, The Child Ballads, 2014 BBC Radio 2 award-winner) sings on "Rags and Bones" and "Four Lanes." Frazey Ford of The Be Good Tanyas appears on "Caroline" and "Steal Away." Reed co-wrote "Caroline" with Esmé Patterson, founding member of Paper Bird, and he teamed with Gregory Alan Isakov to write "Rodeo Clown."
