CHRIS ECKMAN

&#34;One of America’s finest songwriters...emotional depths with an opalescent beauty.&#34; -- Americana UK

Chris Eckman is one of those songwriters with the alchemist’s touch. He’s proved it over the years as the songwriter of the Seattle rock-folk band The Walkabouts, as well as across a lauded six album solo career. His songs have been recorded by Townes Van Zandt, Steve Wynn, Willard Grant Conspiracy (and others), and his last album, the spare, haunted Where the Spirit Rests, won the prestigious German Record Critics Award (Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik) in 2021. Three and a half years later he’s back with &#34;The Land We Knew the Best,&#34; and new stories to tell.

The songs on &#34;The Land We Knew the Best&#34; aren’t populated by the broken people and tumbledown, raw landscapes of the American West that has been the setting for much of his previous work. He’s lived in Ljubljana, Slovenia for many years, and it’s seeped into his consciousness. Not just the city, but also the mountainous and thickly forested nature that surrounds it.
