Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires have long been celebrated for their ferocious Southern punk rock energy, but Old-Time Folks, released in 2022 on Don Giovanni Records, finds the band expanding their sonic palette in bold and unexpected ways. The album blends their signature charged rock with country-adjacent ballads, piano-driven moments, and a rootsy authenticity that draws comparisons to Drive-By Truckers and early Jason Isbell.
Thematically rich and politically charged, Old-Time Folks tackles anti-capitalism, unionized resistance, and anti-racism with the fervor of a preacher and the craft of a seasoned songwriter. Highlights like "Gentlemen" and "Lizard People" showcase the band's range, while the album's bookending dual versions of the title track reveal an artist in genuine artistic evolution. Pressed in a deluxe Old-Style Stoughton Tip-On Jacket featuring stunning inner gatefold art by Tracy Chahwan, this is a release that rewards both deep listening and close inspection.
