Friday, October 1, 2021 – Six months after releasing his debut EP, Elvie Shane said Friday he would release a full-length CD," Backslider," on Oct. 29 on Wheelhouse/Broken Bow.

Shane co-wrote all 15 songs on the album, which is the follow up to "Country Roads," a six-song EP released in mid-April.
