Kermit Lynch is as renowned as they come in the wine world: over the course of his extensive career as a wine merchant, he’s accrued awards from Veuve Clicquot, the James Beard Foundation and the uber-exclusive Chevalier de l’Ordre de Mérite Agricole medal from the French government. Wine god? For sure. But musician? Who knew!
Lynch’s new album, Man’s Temptation features covers of icons like Bob Dylan, Curtis Mayfield and Elvis Presley as well as some original recordings. Lynch’s voice is a robust Merlot, but sweet as Riesling on tracks like ‘Bedtime Lullaby’ and ‘Why Can’t She Be You’. This is music to drink to.
Check out Man’s Temptation by Kermit Lynch, out September 22.
Congrats to Kermit – this news is a bit of a surprise, he has some big boots to fill covering musicians like Elvis and Bob Dylan, looking forward to checking him out!
