He's unearthed these tales of castaway truths and once-faded recollections for Landfill Poetry, a sophomore solo album and Oh Boy Records debut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA native of small-town Missouri who once worked as a backroad trashman before becoming one of music's weathered journeymen, the husky-voiced Downing may be best known as a member of noisemaking Americana outfit The Deslondes, a New Orleans-born band that he co-founded after a clandestine meeting with likeminded musicians at a folk festival in Oklahoma. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn Landfill Poetry, his six-string worldbuilding takes listeners to the back of the trash truck (\"Landfill Poetry\"), inside the lonely hours of the graveyard paycheck (\"Night Shift\") and to the quiet moments after a hard day of work (\"Porch Song\"). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe sings for the restless ones who stay up way too late (\"Hay Hay Hay\") and the grandchildren who admire a hard-working compassion once shared between late loved ones (\"Helen \u0026amp; Gene\"). With each song, Downing uncovers sketches of life that once might've been lost to the landfill but instead are shared anew.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUPC: 608870757729\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Riley Downing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49230029750523,"sku":null,"price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0431\/2606\/3262\/files\/4525950-3634524.jpg?v=1788027503","url":"https:\/\/rustandwax.com\/products\/landfill-poetry-cd","provider":"Rust \u0026 Wax Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
