Ledfoot - Outsiders (2024)

‘Outsiders’, consists of nine new songs and, for the first time as Ledfoot, it sees him accompanied by a full band for a record that operates on a wider musical spectrum, albeit one still rooted in his 12-string sound. Gliding effortlessly between songs redolent of Johnny Cash, Gram Parsons, Bruce Springsteen and even Mink DeVille, ‘Outsiders’ was recorded in just four days at Ronni Le Tekrø's Studio Nyhagen in the countryside north of Oslo and its resulting ‘live vibe’ stands as testimony to truly great musicianship.

Ledfoot himself once again demonstrates his excellent songwriting and unique storytelling skills via vocal performances packed with all the requisite integrity and authority. The album title itself is also no coincidence; a collection of songs about people living on the edge, each in different ways relates the story of an outsider, those who might find themselves lost and ultimately dealt a dud hand in their life’s story, but at the same time unwilling to accept defeat without a fight.
