Lou Barlow (Louis Knox Barlow) was born on July 17, 1966 in Ohio, USA and is an alternative rock singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.

A founding member of the groups Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh and The Folk Implosion, Barlow is credited with helping to pioneer the lo-fi style of rock music in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

‘The Right’ is Barlow’s new single taken from his forthcoming second album, Goodnight Unknown.

This is an upbeat infectious track with a ‘happy go lucky’ feel to it. The vocals are timeless and endearing and I love the melody on the guitar. It’s the sound of summer wrapping up this year to make way for autumn.
