After two records and a Grammy nomination, singer-songwriter Tift Merritt took hiatus with a piano in Paris and came home with her best and most personal songs to date. Her third album, Another Country was released February, 2008.
Merritt's previous albums earned spots on both Time Magazine and the New Yorker's year-end Top Ten lists. She has toured with Ryan Adams, Nickel Creek, Elvis Costello, Gillian Welch and Willie Nelson.
Popmatters: "Another Country is nothing short of stunning in its candor, simplicity, and grace."
Spin: "Sweet Southern depression from a French flat. Deceptively sharp tales of hearts in distress, implying fierce emotions just under the surface."
San Francisco Chronicle: "...a smart, sardonic quality reminiscent of Jackson Browne ...the soulful tenderness of Norah Jones...the bubbly folk melodicism of Feist... a new and compelling direction for Merritt."
Time Out New York: "Merritt is one of the best singer-songers you haven't heard of yet."
