Description

An operatically tragic tale is told in Richmond Fontaine’s ninth studio album, The High Country.

Songwriter and novelist Willy Vlautin has written an extraordinarily eccentric album like no other. More than a concept record, THE HIGH COUNTRY is a song-novel: a fully realized, novel-sized story set to music.

Set in a rural logging community in Oregon, The High Country is a gothic love story between a mechanic and an auto parts store counter girl, whose secret love inspires an effort to escape the darkness of the world that surrounds them – drugs, violence, madness, loneliness, and desperation
set against a backdrop of endless logging roads and the remains of a forest brutalized by logging. In this story of light vs. dark, Vlautin has woven a tale where bad minded people and freaks demonize the lives of innocents.
