This March — a year and a half after he was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry as a full-time member of Old Crow Medicine Show— guitarist Gill Landry will release his third album as a solo artist.
Recorded in a south Nashville apartment and produced by Landry himself, the album pitches its tent in the four-way intersection between Dylan-inspired folk-rock, atmospheric Americana, dusty cowboy songs and street busker ballads. Landry gets a little help from his friends along the way, duetting with British folkie Laura Marling on the lush, lovely "Take This Body" and recruiting fellow Nashville transplant Robert Ellis to add some mariachi-inspired fretwork to "Fennario." The result is a record that's too far removed from Old Crow Medicine Show's old-time rave-ups to stand in that band's shadow — and probably too good, too. (Listen to an exclusive premiere of the album's lead single, "Just Like You," below.)
