2017 release. On Four Lost Souls, Welsh-born, Chicago-based punk-rocker-turned-Americana Icon and revered visual artist Jon Langford headed to Muscle Shoals, AL under a cloud of dark politics. It's an album of pure Americana, beyond the news of the day, going to a place where the differences between country, soul, blues, and rock n roll are blown aside by the warm, languid breezes. Langford is one of the founders of punk band The Mekons, post-punk group The Three Johns and alternative country ensembles The Waco Brothers and Pine Valley Cosmonauts. Since the mid-1980s, Langford has been one of the leaders in incorporating folk and country music into punk rock.
