Gretchen Peters - Hello Cruel World

The Grammy nominated singer-songwriter from Nashville calls Hello Cruel World her most close-to-the-bone work, writtenat a time when I felt absolutely fearless about telling the truth.The title is a pun on the famed exit line � a joke that, like the lovely melodies and deliciously textured arrangements framing these 11 songs � sweetens this captivating musicspun from a year of turmoil.Peters is of course joined by a cast of top musicians including Will Kimbrough, Vicktor Krauss, Barry Walsh and a guesting Rodney Crowell.
