“Eventually, life starts to knock you around. You have to be ready to fight with a smile.” Tony Kamel's grandmother Dolores gave him that advice a few years ago during a rocky period for their family, and its wisdom suffuses his sophomore solo release, We’re All Gonna Live, out now on Blue Corn Music. Variations of the lyric “we’re all gonna die” appear in many of the album’s ten tracks, but make no mistake: this is not a bummer of a listen—quite the opposite actually.
