New York, NY (Top40 Charts) On April 21, Jason Eady returns with his first album in more than three years in partnership with Thirty Tigers. The self-titled release marks his sixth full-length effort and finds the Mississippi-bred singer/guitarist merging his distinct sensibilities into a stripped-down, roots-oriented sound that starkly showcases the gritty elegance of his songwriting.
Today, Eady shared the video for the album's first single "Why I Left Atlanta" via The Bluegrass Situation.
"This song is about a relationship that ended through no one's fault, but simply because two people grew in different directions and the aftermath of that," explains Eady. "Casey Pierce (the director) came up with the idea of showing it from both sides, and I think it ended up capturing exactly what the song is about. The two people in this video are both handling the split in their own way, and the way that they are each handling it shows exactly how far apart they had become."
Jason Eady is now available for pre-order via his website and iTunes. Fans will receive instant downloads of "Waiting To Shine," "Barabbas" and "Why I Left Atlanta" with their pre-order.
Recently, Eady shared "Waiting To Shine," the third song to be released from the forthcoming album. Taste of Country called the song "infectious."
Eady recently showcased at SXSW '17 and caught the attention of Rolling Stone, who said, "Eady previewed his upcoming eponymous album with a set of writerly songs in the key of Merle Haggard, full of just-right details. Eady is a thoughtful tunesmith and performer, confident in precisely who he is at this stage of his career."
Recently, NPR
Music premiered "Barabbas," the second song to be released from the forthcoming album.
Rolling Stone Country previously shared "Why I Left Atlanta," the first single to be released from the forthcoming album. Robert Crawford called the self-titled release "...an acoustic-heavy album that makes room for electricity, eclecticism and guest appearances, with Eady serving as the master of ceremonies."
