Myron Elkins es de un pequeño pueblo de Michigan, donde los amigos son familia y la familia son amigos. Los valores importa. Es ese tipo de lugar, donde un apretón de manos es tu contrato y eres fiel a tu apellido. Eso aquí ya no existe. Donde tus abuelos y padres te enseñaron a ser quien eres. Donde no dejas que el miedo se interponga en el camino del pensamiento libre. Dignidad. Uno de los discos del año y estamos en enero. Pinta bien este 2023.
Myron Elkins comes from a small town near Kalamazoo, Michigan, where friends are family and family are friends. Values matter. It’s that kind of place, where a handshake is all you need to seal the deal and where you do your best to live up to your family name. It’s a place that doesn’t exist anymore: where your elders made you who you are today and where you don’t let fear get in the way of free thought. Where dignity still lies. Surely, this will be one of this year’s best albums – and we’re just starting out! 2023 is looking good already.
