Chris Lambert: Southervisions, Family, and the Kristin Smart Case | Up+Adam

Chris Lambert returns to Up+Adam, and this time the conversation begins with the music.

His new album, Southervisions, arrives October 6 and draws from family, Louisiana, memory, and Lambert’s experience growing up half-Cajun on California’s Central Coast. Chris talks with Adam about the relationship with his father at the center of much of the record, the childhood trips to Louisiana that shaped him, and the unusual writing process that had songs arriving almost one after another. The album eventually became what Chris describes as a musical documentary of his family.

The conversation then turns to the work many listeners first discovered Chris through, Your Own Backyard, and the Kristin Smart case, including our presser question we have been waiting to ask. Chris discusses the recent search activity, his experience at the sheriff’s press conference, the enormous media attention surrounding new developments, and the difficult position the Smart family remains in when public attention moves faster than the answers available to them.

This is Part One of Adam’s conversation with Chris Lambert. Part Two continues Thursday with the wedding road trip and the deeply personal story behind Southervisions and Chris’s relationship with his father.
