On October 9 pioneering wine importer, author and singer-songwriter Kermit Lynch releases his fourth album, Donuts & Coffee, on Lynchmusic/MesaBluemoon Recordings. The LP is a follow-up to 2011's well received Kitty Fur, about which Amazon.com marveled, "…the biggest surprise is not that the wine industry's greatest trailblazer has made a record, but that Kermit Lynch has delivered an album as unique, expressive and flavorful as the artisanal wines he's championed to the world." The Tucson Citizen called it "as outstanding as any fine wine he's ever imported," and No Depression described Lynch's voice on the album as, "a bluesy instrument with the weathered edges of someone more partial to grain than grape, [which] adds new shades to each interpretation."
