‘The Journey From Grape To Raisin is Long Ryders’ cofounder Sid Griffin’s first solo album in a decade.It was recorded in Nashville with his trusted producer

Thomm Jutz (Nanci Griffith, Otis Gibbs, Steve Young) and dear friends such as legendary bassist Mark Fain (Ricky Skaggs, Chris Hillman) and session whiz Tammy Rogers (Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood). Its eleven songs include ten Griffin

originals and one campfire cover of, get ready, the Velvet Underground’s Femme Fatale. When asked about the sessions and the album as a whole Griffin
