The Irresistible Lera Lynn

Soundcheck | Aug 1, 2016

Fans of the HBO show "True Detective" will be familiar with singer-songwriter Lera Lynn: she played a recurring role in the second season as a down-and-out bar singer who obliquely comments—through her music—on the show’s action. The show aptly showcased Lynn’s total command of the slow burn, as does her new record "Resistor." Several of the tracks add a bit of Ric Ocasek-like pop to the equation, like standout singles "Shape Shifter" and "Drive." Lynn joins host John Schaefer to play a few of the new tunes.
