If critical raves drove the record charts, Randy Weeks would rightfully be top of the pops. After all, consider just some of the evidence: "An amazing songwriter" (Salon.com). "Smart songwriting and a broad palette of pop music influences" (CD Now). "Amazing musician" (Billboard). "A master of the dark mood and edgy relationships. Cooler than a fucking Eskimo beer box" (Houston Press).
Hailed as "L.A.'s secret musical weapon" in the Los Angeles City Beat, Weeks has had a song covered by one of today's finest songwriters - "Can't Let Go," cut by Lucinda Williams on her breakthrough Car Wheels on a Gravel Road album - and others featured in such movies as Shallow Hal, Sunshine State and Say It Isn't So. His bi-weekly residency at Culver City's Cinema Bar has been packed to the rafters with those in the know for five years running, and lauded as "my personal jukebox" by noted music scribe Chris Morris in Billboard. As half of the Lonesome Strangers, Weeks helped jumpstart the fertile Los Angeles 1980s roots music scene that launched the careers of such talents as Williams, Dwight Yoakam, Jim Lauderdale, Rosie Flores and Buddy Miller. And since going solo, he has created what is now three albums whose musical and lyrical richness marks them as modern classics. |
