Soul-stirring singer-songwriter with a timeless blend of folk and Americana
This adventurous and highly lyrical American singer is back with a new album, which she will be presenting at AB Club after several years of absence. From her first recordings and her breakthrough with Honest Life (2016) to the Grammy-nominated Old Flowers (2020) and her most recent Loose Future, Courtney Marie Andrews is consistently praised as an artist who challenges herself and finds new cross-pollinations between folk and Americana.
The new album was co-produced by Jerry Bernhardt and recorded almost entirely on tape. The album consists of live performances in the studio, with the emphasis on performance rather than perfection. ‘We thought a lot about Lee Hazlewood, about Big Star's Third and Fleetwood Mac's Tusk,’ says Andrews, and that is clearly audible on the album. It feels elegant, disciplined and balanced, but never cold, always vulnerable and human.
