The Long Ryders - High Noon Hymns - CD

THIS IS A PRE ORDER: RELEASE DATE: 13th March 2026

Long Ryder guitarist/mandolinist Sid Griffin states 'High Noon Hymns' is “two thirds the 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." 

Due to the unexpected passing of Long Ryders' bassist Tom Stevens, bass duties on the new album were shared by Murry Hammond of Americana stalwarts The Old 97s and The Long Ryders’ own Stephen McCarthy. McCarthy also performs live with The Jayhawks and occasionally records with the Dream Syndicate.  
Guests appearing in the album include  DJ Bonebrake of X on vibes and young bluegrass wunderkind Wyatt Ellis on mandolin. 
The album was recorded at Kozy Tone Studios in sunny Poway, California.
