ALBUM REVIEW: Jeffrey Lewis’s The EVEN MORE Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis

More than a story about the healing power of music, “Inger” captures The EVEN MORE Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis’s theme of legacy. Notably, the singer he describes looks a lot like Lewis himself. Taken with the album’s homage to Bob Dylan’s most famous record in the midst of the current Dylan renaissance, it's clear Lewis is reflecting on his career. Capturing the way relationships shift and identities evolve, Lewis pays tribute to the past, reasserting his value at a particularly opportune time.

CONCERT REVIEW: Crafted Sounds Special 2/20 @ Cousin Danny’s
