Slowly Speeding

Product Description Following the critically-acclaimed album Follow Me, roots music icon Kim Lenz returns with her fifth release Slowly Speeding. A culmination of some two decades of honing her songwriting and performing craft, Speeding layers her influences over a soundscape spanning Western Gothic through Rhythm and Blues to Honky Tonk and Rockabilly. Evocative, surprising and poignant at turns-with superlative musicianship and production throughout-Slowly Speeding finds Kim Lenz at the peak of her powers and ready to deliver a journey through heart and mind to listeners. Available on vinyl and CD. Review 'Once hailed as rockabilly's Gen-X queen, Lenz expands her retro roots with the title track from her Follow Me follow-up. Here, she delivers a smoldering torch song that's built as much for the lounge as the juke joint, selling each line like the love child of Wanda Jackson and Chris Isaak.'' --Rolling Stone 'The 10 songs on Slowly Speeding brim with growling vocals, clever turns of phrase, and heightened musicianship that services both the songs and the emotional intent behind them. As the first song written for the project, ''Slowly Speeding'' sets the pace for what follows a gauzy, Western Gothic gaze into the heart of a woman who has abandoned her walls and inhibitions so that this deep, dark love might overtake her.'' --No Depression
