Rag 'N' Bone Man: Life By Misadventure LP

Rag‘n'Bone Man (aka Rory Graham) returns three years after his ground breaking, award winning debut, Human, with a renewed sense of purpose, on a sparkling new album, full of heart and soul. Life By Misadventure is an incredible collection of emotional songs to touch us when we need it most. While a dose of heavy blues and soul lives within some of these new tunes, the majority of this new album finds Rag‘n'Bone Man taking a huge step forward as an artist, a songwriter, and a singer capable of showcasing tremendous warmth and real emotion with every breath. The bulk of the album was produced and recorded by Grammy Award-winning producer and multi-instrumentalist Mike Elizondo (Eminem, 50 Cent, Fiona Apple, Alanis Morissette) at his studio just outside Nashville. First single "All You Ever Wanted" is propelled by choppy rhythm guitars and a restlessness we're all currently feeling. The album was recorded purposefully like a live album - the sound is real and 100% human. Long time collaborators Ben Jackson-Cook (keys, co-songwriter and co-producer of the album), Bill Banwell (bass, and co-songwriter) and Desri Ramus (backing vocals) are joined by drummer Daru Jones (Lazaretto-Jack White) and guitarist Wendy Melvoin who joined Prince's Revolution. Together these musicians have made an album full of joy and immediacy, something all too rare these days of autotune and countless overdubs. Life By Misadventure is the perfect tonic for these times. An album of depth and soul, about growing up and moving forward. Enjoy the trip.
