Lauderdale announces 32nd album
The disc contains a dozen songs. Lauderdale has released the song "The Secrets of the Pyramids" from the album. The traditional leaning song ncludes harmonies from Third Man country singer-songwriter Lillie Mae Rische and her brother Frank Rische. A video, co-starring Elizabeth Cook and directed by award-winning Australian filmmaker Jeremy Dylan ("Jim Lauderdale: The King of Broken Hearts") also was released.
Lauderdale worked with the same time as last year's "Time Flies": co-producer/bassist Jay Weaver and engineer David Leonard (Prince, John Mellencamp, Toto). Lauderdale wrote with Melba Montgomery, Buddy Cannon, who produces Kenny Chesney, and Americana singer Logan Ledger.
"A long time ago, I decided that with each record, I would ignore the categories people tried to put me into and just make the music that was in my heart," said Lauderdale. "This album is about the search for connection, love and understanding between people, about finding empathy in a world where it feels like folks are more and more at loggerheads. When the world outside your window feels too tough to bear, I hope you'll step into the world we've created here."
Lauderdale always has been prolific, releasing at least one, and sometimes as many as three, records every years since 1998. He has penned or co-wrote country hits by Patty Loveless, George Jones, Mark Chesnutt, and the Dixie Chicks.
The track listing is:

CD reviews for Jim Lauderdale
Since the death of George Jones, Jim Lauderdale has been "The King of Broken Hearts": few have sung a hurting song as Jones did, and Lauderdale does with pain, regret and accountability dripping from every vocal inflection, a reminder of what country music could again become.
Now 37 albums into his decades spanning career, Mr. Americana returns with yet another collection of pedal steel-swamped compositions bringing comfort if only because our lives aren't quite as bleak as those ...
A little over two decades ago, singer/songwriter Kim Richey shone a light on what she described as "the Jim Lauderdale Phenomenon," the tendency for major labels to drop country artists despite critical success and proven potential. Lauderdale became the poster child for the "phenomenon" by losing his RCA contract after a Grammy nomination for his collaboration with Ralph Stanley. There's also a case to be made that "phenomenon" is too positive a word to ...
Jim Lauderdale is one of those artists who's pretty renowned amongst the famous, but not widely known to the public. In a never-say-die career (this is his 33rd album!), he did bag two Grammys and probably logged enough road miles to get to the moon. This is the "homecoming" record for the North Carolina native.
