Out now! New single from Peter Mulvey and SistaStrings: “Shenandoah,” from the forthcoming album Love Is The Only Thing out August 12 on Righteous Babe Records.
“Nobody wrote this song, and nobody has ever recorded it. It’s hardly even a song- it’s a region, an ecosystem, a frequency. It’s deeply rooted in the American soul: wild and weird, rustic and deceptively complex, and of course also it is a fever dream of the colonizer, and yet and yet and yet… it’s a sequoia, a thunderstorm… it’s the wide Missouri. We offer our humble tributary, which took our whole lives to learn.” – Mulvey
“Mulvey’s rugged yet calming vocals combine with warm acoustic guitar and the rich strings to create a mood that is intimate and reflective.” – Glide Magazine

Righteous Babe Records presents “Old Men Drinking Seagram’s,” a new single by Peter Mulvey and SistaStrings from their forthcoming album Love is the Only Thing. Peter Mulvey exposes the bleakness of a generic American town with lyrics such as “nobody keeps a garden, they’ve got big white lawns” and “lord help the smart kid, the one who’s clearly getting gone.” An acoustic portrait of small-town America, “Old Men Drinking Seagram’s” is a song for “this summer, right here right now, for sure.” (Americana Highways).
“John Statz and I parked on the dike in the West of the Netherlands that separates the North Sea from the Zuiderzee. We sketched this portrait of a few American towns we’ve had the dubious pleasure of knowing. Some of the meanest things I’ve ever said get said in this town. Often, our daily life is a search for the optimal balance between honesty and kindness. In art, sometimes the gloves come off. All the noise in the background is Chauntee and Nathan.” – Peter Mulvey
