New releases: Paul Burch on the life of Jimmie Rodgers

New and recent releases:

Paul BurchMeridian RisingPaul Burch – Plowboy Records  The new Paul Burch album is an extraordinarily ambitious project, the “imagined autobiography” of the legendary Jimmie Rodgers.  Often cited as the father of country music, Rodgers was a transformative figure whose tragically short career influenced all who followed. Burch, perhaps best known as a member of WPA BallClub, uses Rodgers’ life story as a foundation for his own musical explorations. He’s joined by some great players – from Nashville and elsewhere-  including  Fats Kaplin, Tim O’Brien, Garry Tallent, Jen Gunderman, Jon Langford and William Tyler. Nashville Scene Editor Jim Ridley captured the essence of the album (and Burch’s career) beautifully in a cover story for the Nashville Scene. You’ll find it here.
