NEW RECORD AMERICAN KID OUT MAY 7
New West Records is proud to announce that Patty Griffin will release her new album, American Kid, on May 7. The
album, co-produced by Griffin and Craig Ross, is her seventh and first for New West. It is her first album of
mainly new material since the acclaimed Children Running Through in 2007. In between then and now, she made the
Grammy Award-winning Downtown Church in 2010 and became a member of Band of Joy
alongside Robert Plant.
American Kid, much of which Griffin says "was written to honor my father," returns to typical Patty Griffin
territory, which is to say that it features a group of remarkably powerful, personal and unpredictable songs arranged
and performed in a style that doesn't entirely repeat anything she's done on her previous albums while drawing on all
of them.
The album was recorded in Memphis and features performances by producer Craig Ross on guitar, bass, mandolin,
baritone, omnichord and organ, guitarist Doug Lancio, who has played on just about every Patty Griffin
recording since Flaming Red, and produced some of them. Long-time friend and sound engineer, Roy
Taylor helps out once again on American Kid, and Plant sings on three songs.
