Chatham County Line's SHARING THE COVERS Out Today

Raleigh, NC-based quartet Chatham County Line's eighth studio album, Sharing The Covers is out today on Yep Roc Records. Directed by Gabriel Wilson and animated by Barrett Phillips, today the band unveils the official video for "I Think I'm In Love" (watch/share).

Taking the familiar and adding a touch of bluegrass, the band creates an inventive collection of classic covers by Tom Petty, John Lennon, The Rolling Stones, The Louvin Brothers, Beck, and more.

Recorded at Durham, NC's Overdub Lane studio, the 13-track collection was engineered by Chris Boerner, who also engineers the band's live shows. Previously released singles, including the video for Wilco's "I Got You (At The End of the Century) and audio for Beck's "I Think I'm In Love," premiered at The Bluegrass Situation and Brooklyn Vegan, respectively.

The band will be on the road through the fall in support of the new album with stops throughout the South and Midwest, including opening dates for Steve Martin and Martin Short, and two days at Merlefest. A full list of dates is below.

Formed in 1999, Chatham County Line-Dave Wilson (guitar/vocals/songwriter), John Teer (mandolin/fiddle/vocals), Chandler Holt (banjo), and Greg Readling (bass/pedal steel/piano)-acquired their name after one of their very first practices when the then-unnamed group-were trying to find Holt's place in Chapel Hill and got lost. "We crossed the Chatham County line, and we never looked back," Wilson says. "Just saw the sign, and said that'd be a good idea for a name, and the next thing you know."

Having toured hundreds of thousands of miles playing North American venues and folk festivals to European concert halls, "what sets Chatham County Line apart from other eclectic acoustic bands are its live shows" (City Beat).
