Hurray For The Riff Raff tour kicks off this April 4/11 !!!!!

#FavoriteAlbumsof2017: Hurray for the Riff Raff – 'Navigator' ... With her sixth record as Hurray for the Riff Raff, Alynda Lee Segarra drew inspiration from her past to write 'The Navigator'. In her youth, Segarra was very much a navigator, having left the Bronx in her teens and traveled on box cars across the country. For this record, though, Segarra tells the story of Navita, a character very much based on herself. It is a concept record and feels like it right from the start, as the listener is greeted with the doo-wop, a cappella track, “Entrance”. The rock 'n roll “Livin’ In The City”, the roots-oriented “Life To Save”, and the Latin-infused “Nothing’s Gonna Change That Girl” display many of Segarra's influences. Her most striking piece of songwriting, though, is “Rican Beach”, which is a tale of gentrification, appropriation of culture, and condemnation of politicians who want to build walls. If Segarra wasn’t already recognized as one of this generation’s most important songwriters, this song and 'The Navigator' as a whole cements her place near the top. ... #Bestof2017 #bestalbumsof2017s #bestalbums #HurrayfortheRiffRaff #HFTRR #Navigator #indiefolk #blues #indierock #music #indiemusic #newmusic #newmusicdiscovery #pressplay #takealisten
