Michael Logen contributes Americana soul to “Sunset Avenue Sessions” collab LP

It’s been a busy year for Michael Logen; though his latest album New Medicine came out two years ago, he’s continued to perform in the Nashville scene and collaborate with other local, indie, and major recording artists to keep his folk sound fresh. His latest collaboration comes in the form of Sunset Avenue Sessions, an album which Logen worked on with fellow Americana artists Lizanne Knott and Jesse Terry. The album consists of five covers and six original songs performed by the trio, who just toured throughout October all over the UK. The covers include a couple of Tom Petty classics such as "Wildflowers" and "Learning To Fly", as well as a take on Buffalo Springfield’s "For What It’s Worth", providing an homage to the American songbooks of both old and new. The originals are takes on tracks from each of the artists’ discographies; you can take a listen to one of Logen’s tracks, "Ocean Floor", below. – Will Sisskind
