Description
‘Don’t Skip Out On Me’ is the musical accompaniment to the novel of the same name by Willy Vlautin – in essence, the soundtrack to a book. The album is instrumental, lush, pleasing and evocative, creating a heartfelt musical experience to walk hand in hand with Vlautin’s strong but down and out characters. With his band, Richmond Fontaine, Vlautin has been able to reach into the very soul of his novel, laying it out with cinematic blissful twanging guitars, a pedal steel, along with light handed drumming, songs that come across as deep rooted musical vignettes about growing older and asking more pointed questions, because the answers suddenly seem to matter all the more.
