Jeffrey Foucault - Horse Latitudes

After a couple of highly successful albums that Jeffrey Foucault did not really consider his own (the Cold Satellite project, Shoot The Moon Right Between The Eyes with John Prine songs and Seven Curses, a collaboration with Mark Erelli presenting a collection of murder ballads) he now returns with his first studio album in 5 years. Longtime disciple of the rich and strange music that sings behind the American veil, Jeffrey Foucault has spent the last decade mining the darker seams of country and blues, producing a string of spare and elemental albums of rare power while garnering accolades across the United States and overseas for a tersely elegant brand of songwriting set apart by its haunting imagery and weather-beaten cool. He lives in Western Massachusetts.The new album Horse Latitudes features Eric Heywood (Pretenders, Ray Lamontagne) on pedal steel and electric guitars, Jennifer Condos (Ray Lamontagne, Sam Phillips) on electric bass, Billy Conway (Morphine, Twinemen) on drums, and Van Dyke Parks (Ry Cooder, Lowell George, Brian Wilson) on keys.
