Jim Lauderdale

Lauderdale's ambitious double-set Soul Searching was released in October 2015; one disc was recorded in Memphis, the other in Nashville, and each found Lauderdale playing with veteran musicians steeped in classic blues and R&B sounds as the artist explored his love of classic soul music. This Changes Everything, released through Sky Crunch in the fall of 2016, was a set of tunes written and performed in classic honky tonk style, and less than six months later, Lauderdale had another album ready for release. Arriving in 2017, London Southern was recorded in England at London's Goldtop Studios, with producers Neil Brockbank and Robert Trehern at the controls and several members of Nick Lowe's backing band providing accompaniment. In August 2018, the prolific Lauderdale dropped two albums on the same day -- Time Flies, a collection of recent recordings in a contemporary style, and Jim Lauderdale & Roland White, a collaboration with the legendary bluegrass mandolinist that was recorded in 1979 but not previously released. 2019's From Another World was an ambitious project that fused elements of country, pop, and psychedelic rock. For 2020's When Carolina Comes Home Again, Lauderdale assembled a set of tunes that paid homage to his native North Carolina as well as its sibling to the South. John Oates and Robert Hunter were among the songwriters who collaborated with Lauderdale for the project.
