Description
Keith manning the keyboard here - On this episode of Abandoned Albums I sat down with singer/songwriter Chris Canterbury stopped by to chat about Quaalude Lullabies. This album is the first album in a very long time that made me stop and listen to the lyrics. There was a time when that would’ve been standard practice listening to new music, but now? Well, you know…life.
Chris Canterbury is one of those rare singer/songwriters, his songs are straight-ahead and hit you where it matters most - the head and the heart. The nine songs on this new record are the type of songs that build careers and become legendary. If you're not identifying with one of the characters he’s singing about, then you know someone who will.
Given the title, Quaalude Lullabies, you go into it with an understanding that these songs will be a bit on the sad side. In more simple terms, as Chris points out, “the album is a collection of downers.” That said, these characters may be sad, and lonely, and they’re definitely damaged, but they’re not tragic.
Achieving that kind of symbiosis is no easy task, and on Quaalude Lullabies, Chris Canterbury does.
