EL VIEJO (2024)

Album Credits & Lyrics HERE
Album Announcement Press Release HERE

"El Viejo is a stunning character study of gamblers and loners moving from card game to card game, perfectly bridging modern Americana with the likes of Jerry Reed, Del McCoury and Marty Robbins with a Springsteen-like sense of storytelling in three-minute bursts." - Glide Magazine 

"El Viejo doesn't just add to Corb Lund's musical legacy. In many ways, it closes a circle and begins a new era. He may not be 'viejo' himself, but them grey hairs are moving in, and he's now the one many country and Western singers look up to. El Viejo embraces this new season, and new role in Corb Lund's legacy." 8/10 - Saving Country Music 

“Wise, honest and fun, it’s a collection for the good times and the bad, resonating whether you come out swinging or come up short.” 8.5/10 - Holler 

"Listening to El Viejo is like cracking open a dusty, leather-bound book about the Old West, populated by rough-around-the-edges characters at the end of their ropes." - No Depression 

"If Corb Lund ever released a lackluster album, I haven't heard it. So I went into El Viejo with high expectations. To say that Lund and his band delivered would be an understatement." - American Songwriter  

"There's an intimacy to the interaction between Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans that gives El Viejo a warm, weathered vibe that's every bit as appealing as the songs themselves." 4/5 Stars - AllMusic

"The album may be dedicated to an 'old man,' but the music has plenty of get-up-and go." - PopMatters

Corb Lund Album Track-By-Track, Credits & Lyrics HERE
Album Announcement Press Release HERE

"Lund remains a singular artist, and the fact that he can take outside material without being affected by any dominating influence provides all the proof needed." - American Songwriter

"...he and his band, the Hurtin' Albertans, deliver lively, empathetic versions that will renew your appreciation for the songs you're familiar with and pique your interest in the writers of those you're not." - No Depression

"Lund unearths, dusts off and revives lost should-have-been classics, hopefully encouraging listeners to search out the original versions." 8 out of 10 Stars - Holler

"...the appeal is unavoidable." - Glide Magazine

"The Hurtin’ Albertan writes what he lives, which, when he isn’t making music, is ranching in southern Alberta. Lund has a peculiar genius for translating the details of that way of life into songs that convey exactly what he’s talking about to just about any city slicker." - The Boston Globe

PRAISE FOR AGRICULTURAL TRAGIC

#7 No Depression Readers’ 50 Favorite Roots Music Albums of 2020

"Eloquent and plainspoken, the excellent Agricultural Tragic finds the affable country rocker exploring his roots as a rancher and rodeo rider while striving to adapt this traditional identity to the challenging modern world... Corb Lund radiates authenticity from first note to last." - No Depression 

"The result is a distinctive sound — call it Country & Northwestern — that romances the region from which Lund hails." - The Associated Press 

“The songs on Agricultural Tragic sparkle with a kind of authenticity that only someone who lives that life can project.” - American Songwriter

"... over the last few years Alberta native Corb Lund has gone from the best kept secret of cowboy music to a living legend of it. His plainspoken yet cunning knack for poetry, combined with the real world perspective on the plights and joys of rural folks living under Western skies makes for some of the most compelling country and western music you can find." - Saving Country Music 

"The fact that he can make the rural life seem so relatable to everyone else is still a mystery. Lund’s first album of all new material in five years – following last year’s surprisingly eclectic covers EP (from AC/DC to Nancy Sinatra) – Agricultural Tragic is also among one of his best yet in an already inspiring 25-year career." - Glide Magazine 

"... Agricultural Tragic will stand out as one of Corb's strongest releases." - Americana Highways 

"Agricultural Tragic pushes Country and Punk closer together, showing no difference between his honest approach to Country music and honest approach to Roots and Rock: all grade-A genuine." - The Alternate Root
