Love Hurts

Hailed as one of the most prodigious guitarists of his generation, Julian Lage has spent more than a decade searching through the myriad strains of American musical history via impeccable technique, free association and a spirit of infinite possibility. Love Hurts collects a series of multifaceted, freewheeling interpretations of pieces written by a range of artists and songwriters representative of Lage s omnivorous musical appetite. Lage s trio LPs have seen him working his way through the musical history of the 20thcentury, with Arclight exploring the pre-bebop era and country swing, and Modern Lore then surveying the post-war landscape of first wave rock n roll. Love Hurts, in turn, finds Lage searching through the unfettered artistic freedom of the late 1960s and 1970s, the ambitious energy and lack of restrictions placed upon artists of all genres providing a guiding light for the sessions.
