Amos Lee - Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song (New CD)

For his fifth album, Amos Lee took a different path for the recording, working in a new city with a new producer. Recording with Amos' road tested touring band, the album was the first project to be recorded in a brand-new studio, built in a converted church in Nashville by producer JAY JOYCE (Emmylou Harris, Little Big Town, Eric Church). The follow-up to 2011's chart-topping MISSION BELL brings the artist into new sonic territory, while retaining the trenchant impact of the scenes, characters, and stories in his writing. Joyce introduced a broader palette to Amos' work, creating a richness and a variety that's never distracting or self-conscious. Being in Nashville also allowed several remarkable guests to come by the sessions including Alison Krauss and Patty Griffin lend heavenly vocals.
