Peachtree Road

A dusty, Americana-inflected collection of rootsy ballads. Stripped of stadium gloss, it finds a legendary voice settling into a quiet, Southern-fried peace.

A slow, front-porch ease settles over these twelve tracks, marking the first time the singer has taken sole production credit. The arrangements trade the manicured studio polish of the late nineties for a relaxed, Southern-fried acoustic environment where pedal steel and Hammond organ drift through the mix.
