His writing relates to our lives effortlessly, like waking up, putting on clothes and moving forward or backward or in between. He could also be any one of us. Those who work, live and try to stay alive by grinding away everyday at the time we have left to do the things we love. Usually honest work isn't as remarkable as what you get with Dollbaum but sheet-rocking and songwriting are tasks that take time to master. That's apparent in the 8 songs that make up this blue collar Floridian's debut. Wellswood reminds us that we're all not so different and what we really want, is to live easy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReleased \/ \u003cb\u003e0\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e5\/20\/2022\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBGLE-588\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e854255005880\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eThomas Dollbaum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eBig Legal Mess\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre \/ \u003cb\u003ePop \/ Rock\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Red","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39939272900669,"sku":"POP-D-854255005880","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/products\/0854255005880_161d865b779e7e.jpg?v=1652744688"},{"product_id":"thomas-dollbaum-birds-of-paradise-roseate-spoonbill-pink-vinyl","title":"Thomas Dollbaum - Birds of Paradise [Roseate Spoonbill Pink Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe realest-deal storyteller in indie-rock today is the Tampa-born, New Orleans-based singer\/songwriter Thomas Dollbaum, and Birds of Paradise is his most powerful and dynamic work yet. Following up his critically acclaimed Wellswood (Big Legal Mess, 2022) and Drive All Night EP (Dear Life Records, 2025), Birds of Paradise is a goodbye letter to lost loved ones and former selves. These songs find Dollbaum searching for acceptance in the transient in-between places: Florida's pine flatwoods, backroads leading to 1-95, where birds fly across the water. And even though the ghosts of his alt-county predecessors Townes and Molina are definitely present, on Birds of Paradise, Dollbaum emerges from their shadows-waving to the past, sounding all the more like himself.  This moment-this album-is long overdue. Both of Dollbaum's previous releases had taken way too long to record, due to circumstances out of his control, leaving him frustrated. And after having been away from his home for eight years, the place he had left was no longer the place he remembered, and the unchanging of the natural world felt like a constant he wanted to write about. With a sense of immediacy, he wrote Birds of Paradise in three months. Called up the musicians he trusted and admired the most-Nick Corson, Josh Halper, and Jake Lenderman and asked them to meet him at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley, Mississippi with producer\/engineer Clay Jones. They learned and tracked the album in four days, capturing lightning in a bottle, a sonic revelation Dollbaum's writing has always been waiting for.  With the help of Lenderman, Halper, Corson, and Jones, Birds of Paradise is Dollbaum's hard-won breakthrough. Alive and echoing like the poems and short stories you can't shake: coyotes howl, birds fly south, kids chase rabbits through the sugar cane, and cigarettes are four dollars a pack. Birds of Paradise reminds us where we come from-the things inside ourselves we've forgotten-we just needed Dollbaum to show us. Here's how to look back without fear or shame.
