Our Take

Greg Graffin, frontman of punk legends Bad Religion and professor of evolutionary biology, has somehow found the time to release a solo album, "Cold As The Clay." Perhaps he was inspired by the archaeological digs he may have visited during his studies, because this album feels like a musical excavation of folk traditions.

From the hauntingly beautiful title track to the foot-stomping energy of "Rebel's Goodbye," Graffin showcases his storytelling prowess and love for Americana music. His distinctive voice carries a sense of wisdom and gravitas, like a folk troubadour singing tales of olden days by the campfire.

The instrumentation on the album is top-notch, with banjos, fiddles, and mandolins creating a rich tapestry of sound that transports the listener to a bygone era. The arrangements are intricate and meticulously crafted, showing off Graffin's deep understanding and respect for the genre.

While some may be surprised by Graffin's foray into folk music, longtime fans will appreciate the authenticity and passion he brings to the table. "Cold As The Clay" is a beautiful testament to the enduring power of traditional music, and a reminder that even punk rockers can have a soft spot for a good ol' folk tune.
