Greg Lyon

Add Date: November 16 

Artist: Greg Lyon 

Album: Nowhere Near Poughkeepsie 

Label: Midriff 

Genre: Rock, folk rock 

Comments: Greg Lyon's ReverbNation page has this to say about his debut LP: "Grabbing influences ranging from '60s pop, to alt-country, to indie rock, Nowhere Near Poughkeepsie cannot be pigeonholed to one specific genre. Simple song structures with lo-fi production and warm organ tones are spread throughout..."

This is an interesting and fairly diverse LP, which starts out with some fuzzy folk tunes, highlighted by the title selection, and then veers into everything from lo-fi, '90s-inspired indie rock to folk pop. Also try "Papal Bull" or "Lying to Myself."
