Ed Stasium,
Hot Hero Sandwich’s sound engineer for
the recording sessions with Music Director Felix Pappalardi and the Hot Hero Band, is still producing great albums with great musicians! The Long Ryders: High Noon Hymns, Double
Vinyl Edition, featuring Sid Griffin, Stephen McCarthy, and Greg Sowders, and
produced by Stasium, is slated for release March 13, 2026 from Cherry Red Records.
The Long Ryders,
taking their name from the classic 1980 Western of the same name,
playing Alternative Country and influenced by the Paisley Underground sound, has
worked with Stasium on three previous albums.
According to Long
Ryder guitarist/mandolinist Sid Griffin on the Cherry Red Records website, High Noon Hymns continues the band’s “distilled
alt country genre we helped found back in the 1980s, one third Paisley
Underground adventurism yet with a dash of our own crazed soulfulness thrown
in.”
With the passing
of The Long Ryders' bassist Tom Stevens, Murry Hammond of The Old 97s and The
Long Ryders’ own Stephen McCarthy filled in. Guests appearing on High Noon Hymns include DJ Bonebrake of
X on vibes and Wyatt Ellis on the mandolin.
