While he had years of such gigs on the DIY singer-songwriter circuit behind him, this night was different. In the audience was one of his musical heroes, John Prine. When they met briefly beforehand, Prine, who never gave praise lightly, told Arlo he was a fan. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMcKinley recalls, “Just that moment, if that's where it ended, it would've been one of the coolest things that ever happened to me, something I remembered forever.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut it didn't end there. Shortly after, he was signed to Oh Boy Records, Prine's indie label. Arlo came into 2020 with the momentum of a new album on deck - his first with a producer and a street team - and an international tour booked. Then things took a strange turn for the world..\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs McKinley visualizes the year ahead, he's optimistic that touring will be easier , and that he'll get to play Europe for the first time this summer. When asked what he hopes listeners will get from This Mess We're In, he says, “I hope they can identify with things they're too ashamed to talk about or feel. There's such a stigma that goes along with things like addiction and mental health. I just want them to know that I go through all of that stuff too. I would just like to make them feel a little less alone. At least for the 47 minutes of the album, you can remove yourself from the world and just let everything disappear for a bit.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don't Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCity Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStealing Dark From The Night Sky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo Die For\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDancing Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Mess We're In\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRushintherug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Wish I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere You Want Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHere's To The Dying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 793888918412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oh Boy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.15.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oh Boy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52028872229095,"sku":"690043","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/2481\/7639\/files\/4085367-3167260.jpg?v=1777677733","url":"https:\/\/monumentsinruin.com\/products\/arlo-mckinley-this-mess-were-in-lp","provider":"Monuments in Ruin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
