An album worth checking out: Chuck Ragan - Love & Lore

If there's one thing we love around here, it's good music. You know, the artists that truly dig into the soul and know exactly how to have you hanging onto every last word. We also love when musical genres get blended together so perfectly that it turns into some sort of magic. That's how we feel about Chuck Ragan's new album, Love & Lore, a magical blend of soul-wrenching punk, country, rock & roll, and folk.

We're lucky to call Chuck a friend, and feel honored to have shared time with him fly fishing in California where he is an incredibly gifted fishing guide (seriously, drop what you're doing and book him now). Good music AND fly fishing? What more can you ask for. After almost ten years, Chuck dropped this new album and we're insisting you give it a listen. It's fuzzy, raspy, honest to the core, fast and also perfectly slow, and packed full of words we can all relate to in this whirlwind of life. 

So, pull out the Turtlebox, press play, and crank Love & Lore up to eleven.
