Ray Wylie Hubbard, Brandy Clark Deliver New Albums
Jerry Douglas Band, Dale Ann Bradley Also Release Fresh Music
Singer-songwriters Ray Wylie Hubbard and Brandy Clark and bluegrass
greats Jerry Douglas and Dale Ann Bradley are among the artists
delivering new albums Friday (Aug. 18).
At age 70, Hubbard isn’t slowing down or losing his sense of humor with the release of Tell the Devil I’m Getting There as Fast as I Can.
Lucinda Williams and Eric Church make guest appearances on the title
track, with Patty Griffin joining Hubbard on “In Times of Cold” and the
Bright Light Social Hour featured on “The Rebellious Sons.”
After released an exclusive limited run of Live From Los Angeles
on vinyl in April for Record Store Day, Clark is offering a wider
release of the project recorded last year at the Hotel Café in
Hollywood.
To call Jerry Douglas a bluegrass musician is only telling part of
the story, and the Dobro wizard continues to expand musical boundaries
on What If, the debut studio album by the Jerry Douglas Band.
With violinist Christian Sedelmye, bassist Daniel Kimbro, guitarist Mike
Seal, drummer Doug Belote, saxophonist Jamel Mitchell and trumpeter
Vance Thompson, the band takes on a diverse collection of music,
including “Hey Joe,” the rock classic Douglas had already covered once
in a completely different arrangement.
Dale Ann Bradley, a true musical treasure, is currently nominated as
female vocalist of the year at the upcoming International Bluegrass
Music Association Awards. It’s an award she’s already won five times,
and she has also been selected for induction into the Kentucky Music
Hall of Fame in 2018. Meanwhile, her new self-titled album features a
duet with Vince Gill on the Stanley Brothers’ “I Just Think I’ll Go
Away.”
Singer-songwriter Emily West gained airplay at country radio with
“Rocks in Your Shoes” and “Blue Sky” (a collaboration with Keith Urban).
The Iowa native returns with Symphonies, a five-song EP that leads with “Don’t Ever Go to Paris When You’re Lonely.”
As previously reported, Friday’s new releases also include the Josh Abbott Band’s Until My Voice Goes Out.
