about
Kerry Hutcherson:
If Jimmy and Jean is a love song to my wife, The Lullaby of the Lexington Line is a love song to New York City, specifically the Number 4 train on the MTA. Casey and I spent A LOT of time on this train: we would pick it up at Mosholu Station in the Bronx, which is one stop away from the very end of the train's northern route. I remember a lot of times when we would be riding back home on that train after a long day of adventure in Manhattan and the peaceful rhythm of the train would put us to sleep. This song is also a tribute to my friend Wynn Walent, who moved to New York from Virginia just a month or two before Casey and I were about to move back to Virginia. It recounts a bittersweet time in my life when I was bidding NYC farewell (which saddened me), living in Northern Virginia temporarily (which often annoyed me), and getting ready to move back to Richmond (which I was mostly okay with). I knew that ultimately the decision that Casey and I had made to move back to Virginia was for the best, but at the time I just wanted it hang onto the simple perfection of what we had in New York for a little longer.
What I like most about the recording of this song: The tones that Travis Tucker and JL Hodges got when they recorded the song and Kevin Willoughby's mix (all of which turned out exactly how I had heard it in my heard when writing the song). Initially, this song was going to be a combination of the Shins' "New Slang" and Neil Young's "I've Been Waiting For You." It ended up sounding nothing like either of them, but I'm okay with that.
The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
