Sometimes the truth reveals itself quite unexpectedly.
Such was the case for songwriter and producer Lorrie Matheson with his latest album In Vein. When he sat back to examine the songs he had written, he discovered a common thread. All the songs touched on the subject of what runs through our human veins be it blood or blood and substances combining in dangerous ways.
His songs paint vivid musical portraits on this album, portraits of all sorts of characters, be it a drunk who's only friend is the bartender, or the lost soul searching for his fix somewhere on Main street.
Lorrie Matheson stopped by this week to talk about the figures that haunt his most recent songs.
