You are bidding on a VERY RARE SIGNED Frank Turner / Austin Lucas split 7''! This is a great chance to own such a cool pressing of this record that is not only half and half black and white vinyl, but it's also signed by the man himself, Frank Turner! "Austin Lucas and Frank Turner both had the same mission for their Under the Influence split: Take a relatively peppy tune and turn it into a stark acoustic track. Spoiler alert: They both over-exceed their goals, making extremely noteworthy covers. Austin Lucas covering a poppy Dolly Parton song may not make sense to the average Austin Lucas fan. But Austin has the edge that we don’t: how he hears Dolly Parton’s “To Daddy.” Dolly’s song about a mother bogged down by her husband is anguished, but its internal sadness is hidden by Dolly’s cavalcade of country instrumentation. Austin alone with his guitar takes the lyrics front and center and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. Such a sparse sound could have been recorded in someone’s laundry room, but it hits you on a high emotional level, making it easily the most affecting song of this entire series so far. Would be absolutely appropriate if it became a live standard of his. I love Bruce Springsteen (I live in New Jersey, if I didn’t I’d get kicked out), but I rolled my eyes when I read Frank Turner was doing a Bruce cover for this series. read more
