Initial Spin: Old Man Luedecke - Hinterland


I picked up Old Man Luedecke's Hinterland from the library today. I was familiar with a couple of the tracks (I Quit My Job, obviously) but it was great to hear the full album.

He sings about love, family, food, music, being lost and being found. The overall sound is light bleeds nostalgia for a simpler time and place.

It was the perfect accompaniment for my afternoon activity - baking lemon cranberry scones. The album came to a close seconds after I plunged both hands into a bowl of flour, sugar and butter. Without missing a beat or removing my hands I leaned towards the boom box and hit play with the tip of my nose.
