I am
both thrilled and thankful to announce the release of
my new album, Girls Need
Attention, on Compass Records this coming May 4th,
Given the state of the record industry, I am humbled by the selfless dedication
of many people, including producer (-cum-racecar-driver) Lee Alexander,
engineer Tom Schick, and my longstanding band: Dan Rieser, Tim
Luntzel & Dred Scott, all of whom lent their enormous
talents to a recording that began without any record company backing. Not
to get all weepy on you, but there are times in life when you are reminded who
your friends are and, needless to say, I feel blessed.
We also had some brilliant accompaniment: Nels Cline (Wilco)
on guitar, Jolie Holland on box fiddle, Sasha Dobson on
vocals, Steve Elliot on guitar, Marcus Rojas on
tuba, Louis Schwadron on french horn and Doug Wieselman on
bass clarinet. And I was lucky to have the luxury of working at Norah Jones'
home studio, for which I owe her big time.
This is probably my most personal collection of songs to
date and these musicians dug deep to help create the sort
of raw dark elegance I was looking for. I'm
very proud of what we achieved together and hope you check it out.
