And if he’s not actively crafting new music, he’s certainly thinking about it. “It’s a constant challenge to try to keep making better and better records, write better and better songs. I still always feel like I’m a developing artist,” he says. This may be a surprising sentiment from a man who’s won two Grammys, released 34 full-length albums, and taken home the Americana Music Association’s coveted Wagonmaster Award. But forthcoming album Game Changer is convincing evidence that the North Carolina native is only continuing to hone his craft. Operating under his own label, Sky Crunch Records, for the first time since 2016, Lauderdale recorded Game Changer at the renowned Blackbird Studios in Nashville, co-producing the release with Jay Weaver and pulling from songs he’d written over the last several years. “There’s a mixture on this record of uplifting songs and, at the same time, songs of heartbreak and despair—because that’s part of life as well,” he says. “In the country song world especially, that’s always been part of it. That’s real life.” Lauderdale would know: He’s been a vital part of the country music ecosystem since 1991, when he released his debut album and began penning songs for an impressively long roster of country music greats. “When I was a teenager wanting to be a bluegrass banjo player, I never would have imagined that I would get to work with people like Ralph Stanley and Robert Hunter and George Jones and Elvis Costello and John Oates,” he muses. “Getting to work with them inspires me greatly to this day, and I know it always will.” From rollicking guitar riffs on “That Kind of Life (That Kind of Day)” to the slow, sweet harmonies of “I’ll Keep My Heart Open For You,” Game Changer shows off Lauderdale’s ingenuity as a singer, songwriter, and producer—while reestablishing him as one of Americana’s most steadfast champions..” Artist Jim Lauderdale Genre Americana / Country Label Sky Crunch Records Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings That Kind Of Life (That Kind Of Day) Our Happy Hour We’re All We’ve Got Friends Again Let’s Make Some Memories Keep It Real I’ve Heard Of That Game Changer You’re Hoggin’ My Mind Wishbone Lightning Love I’ll Keep My Heart Open For You Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jim Lauderdale and more from Americana / Country View Product Quick View Jim Lauderdale Hope Americana / Country | Yep Roc | 1LP Released 30th July 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jim Lauderdale Hope £20.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP3002 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th July 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jim Lauderdale When Carolina Comes Home Again Americana / Country | Yep Roc | 2LP Released 27th March 2020 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jim Lauderdale When Carolina Comes Home Again £31.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP2695XLE Formats: 2LP Released Date: 27th March 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jim Lauderdale Time Flies Americana / Country | Yep Roc | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 3rd August 2018 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jim Lauderdale Time Flies £22.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP2594 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Guy Clark Workbench Songs Americana / Country | Dualtone | 1LP Released 10th October 2016 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Guy Clark Workbench Songs £27.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Dualtone SKU: ADUA 1239 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders On Sale View Product Quick View David Dondero The Transient Americana / Country | Keeled Scales | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd July 2020 £15.99 -
