Comments: Minneapolis songwriter Sam Cassidy’s second LP, Running Blind is a concept record, telling the tale of a robbery gone wrong. Told from multiple character’s points of view, the songs on Running Blind focus both on one moment in time, and also take a wider lens to examine forces behind what makes a person come to such drastic actions, and how these decisions affect those around them – whether they realize it or not. While the songwriter heroes of Cassidy’s like Springsteen and Tom Petty are obvious influences, other more subtle influences like Kendrick Lamar or the works of director David Lowry and author/screenwriter Dennis Lehane are at work here as well. Building on his past releases, Cassidy continues to write about the lives of normal people, often riding the line between right and wrong...RIYL: Wilco, War on Drugs, Jay Farrar, Jason Isbell"
