About This Item
More Than Words Can Tell is the new duets album from Victoria Liedtke and Jason Ringenberg. The project sees the duo deep dive into the early songwriting partnership of Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner, cherry-picking musical gems and little heard tracks from their expansive back catalogue. Coined the InchGodfather of AmericanaInch by Mojo magazine, the former Jason and The Scorchers frontman Jason Ringenberg was awarded a 'Lifetime Achievement Award for Performance' by the Americana Music Association in 2009 and was intrigued when Liedtke approached him with the project idea. As Ringenberg states, InchWhen Victoria contacted me about being the 'Porter' in this project, I was super excited. The Dolly-Porter duets are some of the finest duets ever recorded in country music history... Once we dove into the project, I was supremely impressed by the production ethic and creative ambition that Victoria brought to the table. She didn't slavishly copy the originals. In fact, she and her team created entirely new interpretations of those classic songs.Inch Victoria and Jason recorded the album at Vale Studios in Worcester, UK in the Summer of 2022 with a predominantly UK based band. The band features CJ Hillman on electric guitar and slide guitar (Billy Bragg/Yola), John Parker on double bass (Nizlopi), Lewis 'Burner' Pugh on acoustic guitar and Tim Protey-Jones on drums (First Time Flyers) as well as a plethora of guest musicians throughout. Originally from Oklahoma, Victoria moved to the UK eight years ago and now resides in the Yorkshire Dales. InchWhat made this project so fun was being able to bring together these incredible UK musicians that come from the worlds of Americana, Country, Folk and Pop and inject these 50 year old classic American country songs into this musical melting pot. Both Jason and I don't traditionally sit in that world either, so all of that combine
