LP - Lydia Loveless - Something Else

1LP

10 years after its release, Lydia Loveless sits down at the piano for an intimate reimagining of her landmark album, "Somewhere Else".

"Over the last 10 years I've been told by countless people, emotional and earnest, that their favourite record of mine is "Something Else". I love that, and I nod in amused reverence to it here. The me of 2012-2013 was drowning in pain and insecurity and my own press, pissed off that nobody could see me for who I really was, what I had really been through, and how hard it was to be me. I was walled in by fears and worries that I would never be good enough.

When I went back into the studio with my friend Caeleigh Featherstone recording me this go round, she looked at me at one point and said, "were you singing these songs in front of old dudes? Like, your husband"? Yes, I was, I told her. We both shook our heads and laughed at the hubris on 22-year-old Lydia Loveless". Title track features guest vocals by Jason Isbell.
