Cahalen Morrison & Country Hammer - Flower of Muscle Shoals - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2022 . At any given time, you're likely to find Jim Lauderdale making music, whether he's laying down a new track in the studio or working through a spontaneous melody at his home in Nashville. And if he's not actively crafting new music, he's certainly thinking about it. InchIt's a constant challenge to try to keep making better and better records, write better and better songs. I still always feel like I'm a developing artist,Inch he says. This may be a surprising sentiment from a man who's won two Grammys, released 34 full-length albums, and taken home the Americana Music Association's coveted Wagonmaster Award. But forthcoming album Game Changer is convincing evidence that the North Carolina native is only continuing to hone his craft. Operating under his own tag, Sky Crunch Records, for the first time since 2016, Lauderdale recorded Game Changer at the renowned Blackbird Studios in Nashville, co-producing the with Jay Weaver and pulling from songs he'd written over the last several years. InchThere's a mixture on this record of uplifting songs and, at the same time, songs of heartbreak and despair-because that's part of life as well,Inch he says. InchIn the country song world especially, that's always been part of it. That's real life.Inch

2020 . Recorded at the legendary Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals. Includes the new song InchBitter EndInch, a cover of the Bee Gees classic InchTo Love SomebodyInch, and a re-imagining of their hit single InchWish I Knew YouInch.
