You Have Bought Yourself a Boat | MJ Lenderman & the Wind at 2022 SXSW Music Festival

Jake Lenderman lives in Asheville, North Carolina. He plays guitar in the indie band Wednesday, sometimes fishes on the Pigeon River, and creates his own music as MJ Lenderman. His latest solo release with Dear Life Records is titled Boat Songs. Lenderman describes the album as his most “polished” sound to date, built around songs that “chase fulfillment and happiness”-whether that means buying a boat, drinking too much, or watching seeds fall from the bird feeder.
Boat Songs is the followup to Lenderman’s 2020 label debut, Ghost of Your Guitar Solo, and subsequent release, Knockin’, with Dear Life Records, both of which were critically acclaimed for their off-the-cuff alternative country sound. But with Boat Songs, Lenderman emerges confident as ever, an innovative yet unassuming artist, straightforward and true.

[@jimmaguire3079]

Boat Songs is pretty great, seems a big leap from the earlier stuff which was only a year or two ago. Who writes a song like Hangover Game? I wonder what happened.

[@shawnrynearson6114]

MJ wasn't sick, he was hungover, then he pushed off.

[@deltormedici]

definitely not a big leap forward, just more of a pop sound. give the older stuff more of your attention and you'll find a lot more lurking in it

[@hellakooked]

????

[@xxSk8ing4christxx]

Feels like they rushed the song a little. Was also hoping the guitar riff on the chorus would be a little louder.

[@joshcoy8838]

The open riff in the first 6 seconds sounds sooo familiar. Does anyone else recognize it?

[@shawnrynearson6114]

I thought the same thing. This is what it reminded of ruclips.net/video/C7B21_ywtek/видео.html

[@TheRichieC78]

Reminds me of The Band

[@jamesdoctor8079]

Sounds like some tracks on byrds sweetheart of the rodeo

[@bennettwinslow1006]

Definitely some vintage Drive-By Truckers influence

[@BigLucille]

Bob Dylan - Tough Mama

[@streethawk2948]

“Hey, guys, I have an idea. Let’s sound like The Flying Burrito Brothers…but shittier!”
