Fuzzed out guitar, keys, and harmonica meld with his deft fingerpicking and laid-back grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAcross twelve tracks, Golden lays out a caution: be wary when things start going too well. The lyrics of \"\u003cem\u003eHard Times and a Woman\u003c\/em\u003e\" reference winning (and then losing) it all, heartbreak, and being black in America. In between the heavier subject matter there are a few romantic detours that don't end in sorrow, like \"\u003cem\u003eMust Be Honey\u003c\/em\u003e\" and \"\u003cem\u003eLightning When She Smiles\u003c\/em\u003e.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn his sparkling debut, Justin Golden arrives fully formed as a guitarist and a songwriter. Sure he has deep blues bonafides but what stands out is how effortlessly he weaves together his influences into a tapestry as diverse as the country.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50477357433163,"sku":"2004922","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50477357793611,"sku":"2004923","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/product_id._40cbd151_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727470517"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/justin-golden.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
