Lambchop

***In the fall of 2019, Lambchop's Kurt Wagner had a unique idea: In lieu of going on what would become an economically disastrous tour, he would invite the band to Nashville to make a record as a way to provide them with similar financial support and realize something tangible in the process. Each band member was tasked with choosing one song for the band to cover, and leading the recording session to completion each day. Recorded at Battletapes in Nashville, TN, TRIP sounds like a culmination of the band’solder work and current work. There’s a looseness and freedom that recalls their older sound mixed with a group sophistication and innovation derived through the process ofplaying together for so long. The title TRIP refers to the circumstances surrounding its creation and the endeavor of “touring” itself. Features songs by Jeff Tweedy; Earl "Peanut" Montgomery; Jamie Klimek and Jim Crook; Stevie Wonder; Holland, Holland & Dozier; and James McNew.
