Jeffrey Lewis

Jeffrey Lewis is a singer, songwriter, and artist from NYC who has been putting out some of the best anti-folk music there is for over 20 years, including on his newest album “The EVEN MORE Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis” on Don Giovanni Records. In addition to his musical chops, he’s also an accomplished illustrator and has written and drawn over a dozen comics in the series called “Fuff”. For the playlist, Jeffrey submitted 29 tracks, all part of his evergreen effort to make a list of his favorite songs, and he told me to pick the final 15 for the playlist so I used a random number generator to select those 15 but the additional 14 tracks are included below because we all need EVEN MORE good music recs and who better to get them from than Jeffrey Lewis!
