The King of In Between

Garland Jeffreys

A gritty, soulful homecoming. Weathered vocals and street-smart grooves capture the cold beauty of a New York winter and the heat of a life lived on the margins.

It's like a midnight walk through Brooklyn with a guy who's seen it all and still has the fire.

A resilient and street-wise collection that balances cold urban realism with a warm, soulful heart.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sharp, biting guitar riff that opens Coney Island Winter, setting a cold and urgent tone for the record.
Lou Reed's unmistakable deadpan backing vocals providing a gritty counterpoint to Jeffreys on The Contortionist.
The weary but triumphant vocal delivery on In God's Waiting Room, where the instrumentation thins out to highlight the mortality in his voice.
