Sam Outlaw has shared details for his
anticipated sophomore LP, entitled TENDERHEART,’
out April 14th on Six Shooter
Records. (Amazon UK | UK iTunes)
On ‘Tenderheart,’ Outlaw offers an extraordinary refinement of the
artistic identity laid out on ‘Angeleno’. Sonically, the album elaborates on
his “SoCal Country” sound: a sun-bleached, Baja-influenced twang that deftly
points to country’s neo-traditionalists and LA’s legendary singer-songwriters.
Thematically, ‘Tenderheart’ is a thesis on self-discovery and the power of
love – from the cinematic mariachi-laced climax on opener “Everyone’s Looking
For Home,” to the determined swagger on side-A highlight “Trouble,” to torch
song showstopper “Diamond Ring” - Outlaw meditates on his own conflicted quest
for peace amidst the chaos of his chosen path.
The 13-track collection of originals was recorded in the San Fernando
Valley and co-produced by Outlaw alongside Martin Pradler. Outlaw enlisted
many of the same musicians that made his first album, 2015’s ‘Angeleno,’ an
undisputed breakthrough and one of the best-reviewed debuts of that year:
harmony singer Molly Jenson, pedal steel pro Jeremy Long and guitarist Danny
Garcia, along with Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes) and Bo Koster (My Morning Jacket).
In addition, ‘Tenderheart’ features local mariachi group Erwin Vasquez and
Mariachi Teocuitatlan.
‘Angeleno’ earned raves NPR Music, Rolling
Stone, New Yorker, LA Times, Wall Street Journal + many more. LA weekly called
him “contender to be the biggest country star L.A. has produced since Dwight
Yoakam,” he landed tours with Kacey Musgraves and Yoakam, and made his TV debut
on CBS Saturday Morning.
Outlaw will tour extensively behind ‘Tenderheart,’ more info coming
shortly.
