ONLY DEAD FOR A LITTLE WHILE/VINYLE ROUGE OPAQUE

Description

His first album in seven years, Only Dead For a Little While, sees Jon Dee Graham hitting the trifecta. And in doing so, he raises the stakes. A fifth-generation Texan, he has found that place where life, love, and death converge, where they are so deeply intertwined, inextricably linked. And he makes you feel that connection with the same raw intensity that he does. "After 15 years of trench warfare alone, George Fontaine and Jay Woods allowed me to make an album I’m proud of and gave me a home label to support it. As someone who has built a career and a life outside of the race, it was nothing short of a miracle. I came back from the brink of death to make it, so there’s a certain urgency. As such, this may be my best album to date."
