{"product_id":"veirs-laura-the-lookout","title":"Veirs, Laura - The Lookout","description":"\u003cp\u003eA prolific songwriter for over 20 years now, \u003cstrong\u003eLaura Veirs\u003c\/strong\u003e proves the depth of her musical skill on her tenth solo album, The Lookout. Here is a batch of inimitable, churning, exquisite folk-pop songs; a conceptual album about the fragility of precious things. Produced by Grammy-nominated Tucker Martine, Veirs' longtime collaborator, The Lookout is a soundtrack for turbulent times, full of allusions to protectors: the camper stoking a watch fire, a mother tending her children, a sailor in a crows nest and a lightning rod channeling energy. The Lookout draws on the talents of a time-tested crew of musicians: Karl Blau, Steve Moore, Eli Moore, Eyvind Kang and Martine. Says Veirs, \"These guys are a good hang, ego-free and wonderful players who just want to serve the songs.\" Sufjan Stevens and Jim James provide guest vocals. For Martine, who fell, almost two decades ago, for Veirs' unique sound after listening to a tape cassette she'd sent him in the mail, this album reflects a bar that keeps getting raised. Both familiar and strange, The Lookout gets better with repeated listens, warming to the skin like a cherished saddlebag, critical for the journey ahead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Margaret Sands 2:57\u003cbr\u003e2 Everybody Needs You 2:55\u003cbr\u003e3 Seven Falls 4:04\u003cbr\u003e4 Mountains of the Moon 4:16\u003cbr\u003e5 Watch Fire (Feat.
