Strings spends "Seven Weeks in County"
The video was directed by Bryan Schlam (Tyler Childers' "In Your Love").
The track is the latest unveiled from Strings' forthcoming record, "Highway Prayers," out next Friday on Reprise Records.
Produced by Strings and Jon Brion (Fiona Apple, Mac Miller, Aimee Mann), the album consists of 20 original songs including the previously released tracks, "Stratosphere Blues / I Believe In You" and "Leadfoot," the latter of which American Songwriter praises, "Strings is one of, if not the most, imaginative artists currently playing the game...a masterpiece of the 21st-century version of counter-culture."
Recorded in Los Angeles and Nashville, the album features Strings and his longtime band — Billy Failing (banjo, vocals), Royal Masat (bass, vocals), Jarrod Walker (mandolin, vocals) and Alex Hargraves (fiddle) — as well as additional contributions from Brion (bass, drums, percussion), Matt Chamberlain (drums), Jerry Douglas (Dobro), Jason Carter (fiddle), Lindsay Lou (backing vocals), Nathaniel Smith (cello), Taneka Samone (backing vocals), Cory Henry (piano), Peter "Madcat" Ruth (harmonica, jaw harp) and Victor Furtado (clawhammer banjo).
