{"product_id":"riley-downing-landfill-poetry","title":"Riley Downing - Landfill Poetry","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor years, singer-songwriter Riley Downing has collected stories about life’s overlooked moments and underappreciated people. He’s unearthed these tales of castaway truths and once-faded recollections for Landfill Poetry, a sophomore solo album and Oh Boy Records debut.??A native of small-town Missouri who once worked as a backroad trashman before becoming one of music’s weathered journeymen, the husky-voiced Downing may be best known as a member of noisemaking Americana outfit The Deslondes, a New Orleans-born band that he co-founded after a clandestine meeting with likeminded musicians at a folk festival in Oklahoma.??On Landfill Poetry, his six-string worldbuilding takes listeners to the back of the trash truck (“Landfill Poetry”), inside the lonely hours of the graveyard paycheck (“Night Shift”) and to the quiet moments after a hard day of work (“Porch Song”). He sings for the restless ones who stay up way too late (“Hay Hay Hay”) and the grandchildren who admire a hard-working compassion once shared between late loved ones (“Helen \u0026amp; Gene”). With each song, Downing uncovers sketches of life that once might’ve been lost to the landfill but instead?are shared anew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OH BOY RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":54650580140355,"sku":"RPT-27781","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":54650580173123,"sku":"RPT-27782","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/1601\/8499\/files\/CAR_20260720_1207_112621_587_p_riley_downing_-_landfill_poetry_19_017.jpg?v=1784549376","url":"https:\/\/www.recordplant.co.uk\/products\/riley-downing-landfill-poetry","provider":"Record Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
