""Little Wide Open is set to a backdrop of tangled highways, towns with populations less than 100,000, roadside crosses, a rock and roll romance, coupling butterflies, being an American entertainer, Econoline vans and more," says Morby of this third chapter in what's turned out to be a trilogy, started with 2020's Sundowner and 2022's This Is a Photograph. "This is, without a doubt, the most personal and vulnerable album I've ever made."
""This is a song I wrote about being in love with someone you keep circling around the globe, relentlessly traveling through the air and down highways, and then returning home alone to middle America," Kevin says. "Amelia Meath shines here, with her incredible vocals. I had invited her into the studio and asked that she create a backing choir out of just her voice - but her presence is so special that her 'backing vocals' can't help but take the lead.""
Kevin Morby announced his eighth solo album, Little Wide Open, set for release May 15 via Dead Oceans. Aaron Dessner produced the album and contributes instrumentation. The record features guest appearances from Justin Vernon, Amelia Meath, Katie Gavin, Lucinda Williams, Meg Duffy and others. Little Wide Open constitutes the third chapter of a trilogy following 2020's Sundowner and 2022's This Is a Photograph. The songs evoke tangled highways, small towns, roadside crosses, rock and roll romance, and the life of an American entertainer. Morby describes the record as his most personal and vulnerable, and names 'Javelin' as the first single featuring Amelia Meath. A spring North American tour begins May 8 with Liam Kazar opening and includes a June 10 New York City date at Brooklyn Steel.
