Randy Weeks has been described as the “consummate songwriter’s songwriter,” so it’s no surprise that both Lucinda Williams and Robert Plant/Alison Krauss have covered his song “Can’t Let Go”. He describes his music as “60s-70s era country rock, rhythm and blues, and swampy rock ‘n’ roll”. As part of the 80’s California music scene that included Lucinda Williams, Dwight Yoakam, Jim Lauderdale, Rosie Flores and Buddy Miller, Weeks helped revive country rock and launch the Americana music movement as a member of the legendary Lonesome Strangers. The Strangers became the stronghold of California Americana, recording three influential albums, two of which were produced by Pete Anderson (Dwight Yoakam), which not only earned them a Top 40 Billboard hit, but also thrust them into the heart of the Americana music scene uprising. In the late ’90s, Weeks struck out on his own, eventually recording four highly-celebrated albums. The first, Madeline (Hightone), is still considered among the most timeless albums of our generation. All Music Guide hailed Madeline as “a great album”, while Salon.com called it “maybe the best breakup album since Chris Isaak’s Forever Blue.” After leaving his long-time home base of Southern California, Weeks spent time in Austin, TX before relocating to the Pacific Northwest, where he has been warmly welcomed by a solid base of enthusiastic followers.
