Lauderdale stays prolific
"I'm A Song" features performances by Lee Ann Womack, Patty Loveless, Buddy Miller, Al Perkins, Kenny Vaughn, Dennis Crouch, John Oates and Stuart Duncan, and more. Elvis Costello, Robert Hunter, Bobby Bare and Gary Allan helped write songs.
"King of Broken Hearts," Lauderdale's most requested tune, is re-recorded for the first time since his now out-of-print "Planet of Love" was released in 1991. "I wanted to do 'King of Broken Hearts' again since that album is out of print, and people keep asking for that song. That's one that I do at just about every show as a tribute to Gram Parsons and George Jones" said Lauderdale.
Lauderdale has been in a particularly prolific period for releasing albums. This will be his fourth album since October 2013. He has released "Old Time Angels," "Blue Moon Junction" and "Black Roses" since then.

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 ...
