CD Description
Known for their mesmerizing live shows, Americana singer/songwriter Rod Picott and Amanda Shires have teamed to release an inspired and gorgeous collection of duets. Featuring both dark musings on the themes of love and regret and also jaunty acoustic country, Sew Your Heart With Wires in an album to tease the senses and stimulate the soul. The songs were recorded live in the studio with no overdubs giving the collection a caught live feel. The sound of birds singing, freight trains rumbling and planes flying overhead are all left in the mix to create an album as if performed personally for the listener. Some songs were recorded the day they were written. Sew Your Heart with Wires is a refreshing, unhurried affair that sounds like the Everly Brothers having drinks at Johnny Cashs house. Maverick call it "An understated duet album with subtle emotion and power".
