Chuck Ragan is best known as co-frontman of Hot Water Music, but his career has also spanned acclaimed solo releases, the influential Revival Tour, and even a successful fly-fishing business in California. Across everything he does, honesty and authenticity remain at the core. His new album, Love And Lore , marks his first solo release in ten years. Originally conceived in 2016, the record faced numerous delays due to the pandemic, family commitments, and other challenges before finally being completed in 2023. The result is a collection that pushes beyond Ragan’s folk roots, embracing richer arrangements and new sonic territory while retaining the heartfelt songwriting that has defined his career. Featuring contributions from Todd Beene, George Rebelo, and Spencer Duncan, Love And Lore explores themes of family, relationships, personal struggle, and finding solace in nature. It’s a deeply reflective and emotionally resonant album that showcases Ragan’s continued growth as a songwriter and musician.
