RISE543-1 (PRE-ORDER)
RELEASE DATE: 10/25/24
First conceptualized in 2016 with studio work beginning in 2019, progress was halted due to that ol', dreaded COVID, "Love And Lore" was posited on the shelf while Chuck Ragan focused on his fly-fishing operation in Grass Valley, CA, to provide for his family. Eventually, "Love And Lore" was recorded in early 2023, and the result is an album that showcases Chuck's further transcending the folk label to create a collection of songs that see him stretching out as a songwriter to fearlessly explore new sonic territory. The one theme throughout all of this is the way that Chuck approaches everything with a level of honesty and integrity that can't be faked - and that sentiment is undeniable on "Love And Lore," his first solo collection in ten years.
