With Lost Time, the follow-up to their Grammy nominated album, Common Ground, Dave Alvin and Phil Alvin pay homage to a number of artists and songs that had an early, formative influence, in Dave’s words “the masters of the blues, the most transcendental form of American music.” Everyone from Lead Belly to James Brown is represented, but the figure who looms largest on the album, and in the brothers’ own musical journey, is Big Joe Turner.

“This is a record that resounds with joy in the material and in the brothers’ performances together.” – Living Blues
