Rod Picott - Welding Burns

Out earlier this year in the US, Rod Picott’s latest album Welding Burns is an independent release that’s available in the UK from today and Picott is touring over here in October to promote it, the dates are below and there’s a Bob Harris Country session planned too which I’m very much looking forward to. I mentioned in a recent post Picott’s contribution to the great Amanda Shires album Carrying Lightning and on this his seventh solo release she joins up with him again adding vocals and fiddle to the album which was recorded at True Tone Studios, Nashville TN with David Henry (Cowboy Junkies, REM) co-producing with Picott, it also features slide and electric guitar from the Will Kimbrough, a fellow who has a habit of turning up on quality albums time and time again.

Amanda Shires – Carrying Lightning

I’m a little late in mentioning this album but couldn’t let it pass without a few words of praise as it’s fast becoming one of my favourite albums of the year so far, one of those rare albums where there’s not a weak track Carry Lightning showcases Shires talents as both writer and musician, a dozen tracks it kicks of with Swimmer…. and ends with an instrumental version of the opener, in-between there are nine further Shire’s originals and a cover of Barbara Keith’s Detroit or Buffalo, Neil Casal who guests on the album playing guitar and adding harmony vocals recorded his own version of this track on his album Fade Away Diamond Time, other contributors include Will Kimbrough (electric guitar) who pops up regularly on quality albums and Rod Picott who co-produced the album with Shires – she returns the favour by playing and singing on Picott’s solo album Welding . . . → Read More: Amanda Shires – Carrying Lightning
