Terry Lee Hale is a man who’s traveled roads and years, across America and Europe. Born in Texas, one of the godfathers of the Seattle scene (the only singer-songwriter featured on the seminal ‘80s compilation Sub Pop 200) and now resident in Paris, he’s been releasing albums for three decades.
Terry Lee Hale’s new album The Long Draw is an album of short stories. It’s like Raymond Carver’s “Short Cuts” but framed with music. It’s living stripped to the bone, a travelogue of home movies that range across America and Europe. Pins on a map. For his new album, Terry Lee takes stock of our modern life in stories where all pretence is stripped away, where every breath and syllable is vital.
