The Times is premiering “Lost Time,” the new album from Southern California roots-rock veterans Dave and Phil Alvin.
It’s their second collaboration as siblings, following 2013’s Grammy-nominated “Dave Alvin and Phil Alvin Play and Sing the Songs of Big Bill Broonzy,” saluting the blues great.
This time out, the Alvins broaden the canvas beyond a single artist, dipping into the songbooks of several of the roots musicians whose music ignited their own passion for American blues, R&B, soul, folk, country, gospel and early rock as they grew up south of Los Angeles in the suburban bedroom community of Downey.
