JOSH KELLEY PREPS NEW LANE ROAD FOR RELEASE THIS WEEK
Preview Entire Album on NPR’s First Listen Now
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (Tuesday, April 19, 2016) – Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Josh Kelley will release his highly-anticipated new album, New Lane Road, on Sugar Hill Records this Friday, April 22. Coming after a nearly five-year hiatus from the “Georgia Clay” singer, New Lane Road is
an extremely personal project, reflecting on his marriage, family and
home he and actress wife Katherine Heigl built for themselves and their
two children in rural Utah.
“I
think this is definitely the most honest album I’ve ever done," Kelley
says of the project. "I’m finally at a place that I have compiled enough
experiences in traveling to actually have some real substance to write
about. It’s all about the land that we live on now. My family and I live
out in Utah out in the middle of nowhere. Conceptually, the whole album
is rooted in that place.”
Kelley
devoted himself wholeheartedly to the creative process for three years
while making the album, which he produced, engineered, co-wrote and
played most of the instruments himself. Listeners can experience New Lane Road early on NPR’s First Listen.
“Throughout
its dozen tracks, Kelley dwells on how accumulating life experience and
forging significant attachments can transform slight insights into
something more. He trots out thoroughly familiar fixations — feeling
your mortality ('One Foot In the Grave'), seizing the day ('Life's Too
Short'), being saved from a solitary existence by a steadfast lover
('The Rock Who Found A Rollin' Stone') — with warmth that lends them
each new impact,” praises NPR’s Jewly Hight. “Kelley performs 'The
Best Of Me,' a slow-burning, steel-guitar-laced ode to being emboldened
by a life partner, with a dignity made subtler and more affecting by its
softness around the edges.”
Kelley has released the video for lead single “It’s Your Move.” The clip co-stars Heigl, who also makes her directorial debut with the very personal video.
"Hiegl
isn’t the only family member deeply connected to Kelley’s latest
creative endeavor: his daughters can be heard on a few tracks, and his
father John is featured on the title track, speaking words of wisdom and
advice to his son.”
The full album is now available for preorder HERE.
