Gold Star - Back To Me

Gold Star came to fruition when Lucinda Williams asked the frontman of The Sister Ruby Band, Marlon Rabenreither, to be the solo supporting act for one of her acoustic shows.

Rabenreither's foray into retrospective melancholy looks through the prism of acoustic American music with an unapologetic vulnerability and an eye towards loss and heartbreak.

Gold Star's self-titled debut EP - scheduled for release on March 5, 2013 - is an organic collection of songs within a stripped-down sonic environment; it fuses acoustic simplicity and warm harmonies with deconstructed Americana elements and intertwines intricate fingerpicking with ambient organ, wurlitzer and steel guitar, all the while defying the singer-songwriter archetype.
