Sid Griffin
I'm the guy from the Long Ryders in 1980s L.A. & the guy in the Coal Porters in London. Yes, I also make solo albums and do some singer-songwriter gigs. Million Dollar Bash is my book on The Basement Tapes and I've never met Dylan.

The Journey From Grape To Raisin
The Journey From Grape To Raisin is Sid’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 smiles and calls The Journey From Grape To Raisin “my career highlight, the best work I am ever likely to do. Heaven forbid I should go but if I did I’d die happy”.
