Sessions From Motor Ave.

Joe Purdy

Bare-bones acoustic sketches of Los Angeles heartbreak. A quiet, dusty record of harmonica sighs and whispered vocals for the lonely hours after midnight.

June 15, 2002 · Joe Purdy Records

A quiet, urban loneliness that feels both weary of the world and deeply intimate.
