Home on the Road - Lee Tyler Post
By: Laura Bond, Encore Magazine, NC
San Diego native Lee Tyler Post is a musician by trade, a gypsy by design. His rare blend of “rock ‘n’ soul” recalls the Southern blues movement while incorporating some classic rock and singer-songwriter elements. Yet, his grassroots approach to making music and his relatable lyrics are what keeps listeners a part of his down-to-earth sounds.
Post’s current tour has him booked until December, but being on the road is not just a way to boost album sales for the self-proclaimed “Traveling Troubadour”; it’s the place he calls home. And home is where Emancipate, the artist’s most recent accomplishment, is being mastered in front of audiences everywhere.
His fifth full-length album, Emancipate was written, engineered, mixed and produced by Post in 2003 at Miracle Something Studios on Winidian Records. Post’s intense voice hits hard from the beginning on the opening track “Vacant,” a passionate sonnet dedicated to his wife. The romantic lyrics “my heart is aching for you,” capture the essence of acoustic soul, while his strained, husky vocals remain reminiscent of rock influence Bruce Springsteen.
Post and fellow band mates constructed a powerful contrast throughout Emancipate by combining a rhythmic acoustic style with twangy electric guitar. Songs such as the second track, “Hurricane,” and track six, “Revisited,” give the album texture by contrasting upbeat rock tempos with a slow Southern blues-influenced harmonica on the latter.
The lyrics are honest and passionate, particularly on songs such as “Thunderclap” where he showcases his vocal range while singing: “Heaven never felt like this/so I know this time this is it.” Post refers to his unique brand of composition as “blue-collar music” as he strives to stay connected with the ordinary troubles of working-class America. Likewise, he never strays far from his own grassroots—the album was recorded on an analog machine using two-inch tape—while he draws from poetic and musical influences such as T.S. Eliot, Walt Whitman, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan.
Post’s tour schedule will land him a spot at The Juggling Gypsy on Castle Street on October 11th at 8pm to promote the upcoming release of his newest record, Half Painted Window on Lost Cat Records. Post, who lists his place of residency as “the road” and whose live show is reportedly “two to three hours without a pause” will definitely bring the same intensity to his show, as is evident on his last album. By Laura Bond - Encore Magazine

Thank you for accepting our friend request!! Really appreciate it. Wish you an awesome Thursday. Rock and Rollon!! =) Very best regards from Merlin’s Company! “Beware of the armadilloes whose dark shadows sweeps the streets”
Hey Lee! Just thought I'd drop in and say howdy....hope all is going well for you and you're getting some good stuff happening in the studio. We've been recording too, and hoping for a new release (with a different flavor...North 2 South is headed off the beaten path!! LOL!) for next year.
Anyway, give our best to Jackie. Hope to see you guys again soon. Stay in touch and wish you much success as always. :-) Cindy and Franko
Hi Lee! Hope all is well with you & yours! Hadn't been listening to your songs for a while...but now I did...& it still gets a hold on me! You're such beautiful soul... I'm sure!! Lots a love & best wishes to ya!!! :)
Hey Lee! Hope all is well, haven't chatted in a while but been keeping up with your newsletters. Glad to hear you're busy and working on new material.
Hey, wanted to let you know we have a NEW SONG!!! Long Gone Lover is up on our page. Check it out when you get the chance. Quite the diversion for us! LOL! But we really had fun with this one. If you like blues....Steely Dan....Bobby Caldwell style of production, you might like this one!
Please give my best to Jackie...talk to you soon. Stay in touch. :-) Cindy
I truly mean it. I usually play music as to calm me when I write, but today when I found your music I just couldn't believe you weren't signed to some major label. You're not only great to listen to, but honestly incredibly important in the sense that the "true musicians" seem to be endangered these days. It's easier to sing to a beat than pick up an instrument, I guess.
lol. I shouldn't judge, for I own a guitar and am mediocre at best...
Regardless, I love your sound and hope to hear more of you for years to come.
-Stephen
p.s. thanks for checking out the page, those quotes just come to mind at times and I write them down. I write down most ideas--useful or not--it's a writer's superstition, I guess.
Hi Lee:) Just stopping by to show the love! <3 Cindy & The Ladylake Team of Artists Juliet Gough/ Steven Hollerup/ Dan Wythoff Cute Loony/ The Floozies/ The Fores
