Steve and Edie top new albums
Tuesday, April 23, 2013 – Steve and Edie lead the list of new releases today. Make that Steve Martin and Edie Brickell with "Love Has Come For You." Brickell is best known for her work a few decades ago with Edie & The New Bohemains before embarking on a solo career. Comedian, actor and author Martin continues being the renaissance man with his foray into music.
Lori McKenna plays the hometown card in naming her new disc "Massachusetts." McKenna has enjoyed success as a songwriter, including on Little Big Town's current disc.
Jerry Miller, guitarist for the Eilen Jewell Band, is out with "New Road Under My Wheels" (Signature Sounds).
Eric Brace and Peter Cooper have enjoyed careers as journalists for the Washington Post and The Tennessean respectively. Here, they once again join forces for the presumably jokingly entitled "The Comeback Album."
