For more than two decades, Langhorne Slim has been a fearless voice in modern Americana, known for his raw emotion and rule-breaking spirit. On his ninth album, The Dreamin’ Kind, the Nashville-based songwriter plugs in his electric guitar and dives headfirst into big-hearted, 1970s-style rock & roll. Produced by Greta Van Fleet’s Sam F. Kiszka, the record pairs power chords and soaring hooks with the vulnerable storytelling that’s long defined Slim’s work. “It felt like I was blowing some old shit up so I could plant some new flowers,” he says. “I love folk music, but rock & roll tickles the same part of my soul. I wanted to explore that.” The collaboration began after Slim opened for Greta Van Fleet, leading to loose,inspired sessions with Kiszka and drummer Danny Wagner. Together they built songs that move from the propulsive rush of “Rock N Roll” and the swagger of “Haunted Man”to the tender sweep of “Dream Come True” and “Stealin’ Time.” Recorded over a year in Nashville, The Dreamin’ Kind bridges Slim’s rootsy past with alouder, more expansive present. It’s a record of freedom and discovery, equally at homein rock clubs and around campfires—proof that Langhorne Slim, ever the dreamer, stillfinds new ground to break with every song.
