Nashville-born, New York City-based singer-songwriter Laura Cantrell will perform at Rough Trade NYC on October 27. The show is in support of Cantrell's critically acclaimed new album, No Way There From Here, which is out now on Thrift Shop Recordings. In celebration of the release, Cantrell recently performed the album tracks "Starry Skies" and "Can't Wait" on "CBS This Morning."
No Way There From Here was produced by Cantrell and Mark Nevers at Nashville's acclaimed Beech House studios and features writing collaborations with Tracyanne Campbell (Camera Obscura), Amy
Allison and Franklin Bruno, as well as guest musicians Mark Spencer (Son Volt), Jim Lauderdale, Kenny Vaughan, Michael Cerveris, Caitlin Rose,
William Tyler (Lambchop), Paul Niehaus (Lambchop, Calexico) and Paul Burch.
Of making the new album, Cantrell says, "Each recording project presents a fresh question to answer about what you're doing and why. For this record, where I've worked for the first time with mostly my own songs and point of view, the pressure I've felt is to find what suits each song and do it justice. It was challenging and exciting because I have had to really define the sound."
In addition to her 2000 debut Not The Tremblin' Kind, which pioneering British disc Jockey John Peel described as "...my favorite record of the last ten years, possibly my life," Cantrell has released When
The Roses Bloom Again (2002), Humming By The Flowered Vine (2005), and Kitty Wells Dresses: Songs of the Queen of Country Music (2011).
