Wait Til I Get Over draws inspiration from Durand Jones' hometown of Hillaryville, Louisiana. On this debut solo album, Jones offers a rich blend of Southern and Black rhythms with raw Delta grit, bright church spirituals, and tender spoken - word. It's a captivating addition to Southern Black music, solidifying Jones as a uniquely talented artist. On the lead single 'Lord Have Mercy', the live - band recording, with Ben Lumsdaine on drums, Drake Ritter on guitar, Matt Romy on keyboards, and Glenn Myers on bass, is unconstrained and precise. In the title track, he revives vintage Gospel, singing through each choral section to honor his hometown choir mentors. As a member of Durand Jones & The Indications, this album showcases his individual vulnerability. It comes on 'blue jay' colored vinyl, includes a 20 - page booklet with lyrics, poetry, and prose by Jones, is a limited edition, and is released by Dead Oceans in 2023.
To enjoy this album, simply put the 'blue jay' colored vinyl on your turntable and start the music. You can read the 20 - page booklet that comes with it to follow the lyrics and enjoy the poetry and prose by Durand Jones. Keep the vinyl in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. This is a limited - edition item, so handle it with care to preserve its value.
