One of my favorite bands is just about to release what may be their final record, Richmond Fontaine with You Can’t Go Back If There’s Nothing To Go Back To. Just on my first couple listens to the MP3 preview, still brand new, not actually released until Mar 18, and while the 150gm vinyl is still up for preorder at their bandcamp (just put in my order a couple hours ago), the limited 180gm gatefold vinyl package is already sold out. Still so many listens to look forward to over the next few months, and hopefully years, Willy Vlautin's music and words do get better with age.

Anyway, just wanted to start a thread about it, I realize they aren't very well known, but there's a thread in the archives for the last couple records (I'll post links at the end), and from reports I've read, this may be their last one, so don't miss it if you are a fan of literate Americana music. Release date is March 18, with vinyl from either Fluff & Gravy Records in Portland, US, or Decor Records in London, UK, unfortunately the limited edition vinyl is already sold out in the US, they say only 500 copies around the world, you gotta pay pretty close attention these days because the vinyl action moves quick, though might still be available from the UK, shipping kills ya though, but regular vinyl is available for preorder at all the normal places, including their bandcamp. Great band, great music, with a pretty amazing run, Post to Wire from 2004 is one of my all-time favorites, especially the 180 gm vinyl version released a few years ago. Too early to say for sure, but this seems up there too. Anyone who loves Trace by Son Volt, or Wilco's Summerteeth, should be all over this.
