Nashville

A happy day it will be on February 22, it being the release date of "Nashville", the new album from singer/songwriter extraordinaire Josh Rouse.

Josh's previous release, a gorgeous concept album titled 1972, is my favorite CD of the past couple of years. That thing has had an anaconda-like grip on me since I first heard it last July.

As for the new title, I'm betting that it's so named after the city where it was recorded -- I doubt it's a country album. A video for the new song "Winter In The Hamptons" (requires QuickTime) seems to confirm this.
