Anderson East - Alive In Tennessee (2019) [Hi-Res]

There are musicians who call themselves road warriors, and then there's Anderson East. An unflinching, inimitable talent armed with a potent and husky voice, the gritty-blues and-soul-toasting singer spent two years pounding the pavement in the wake of his breakout debut album, 2015's Delilah. It was only fitting then that whatever came next for East would bleed with an intimate and urgent sense of immediacy. "We wanted to present every song as a true performance," the musician says of the stunning and diverse 11 tracks that comprise Encore, the Alabama native's newest album (Low Country Sound/Elektra Records).

“We try to put on a great show night after night but this one was incredibly special to me and I’m excited to share the beauty and blemishes with you all. So proud of my incredible band and everyone involved,” said East.

Recorded last September at Nashville’s famed Ryman Auditorium during his sold out ENCORE World Tour, ALIVE IN TENNESSEE captures all the energy and excitement of Anderson East’s acclaimed live performances, highlighted by electrifying renditions of songs from his 2015 Low Country Sound/Elektra debut album, DELILAH, as well as the complete tracklisting from last year’s breakthrough ENCORE, including “This Too Shall Last,” “Girlfriend,” “King For A Day,” and “All On My Mind“ – the latter song a recent GRAMMY® Award nominee for “Best American Roots Performance.” As if all that weren’t enough, the 18-track album showcases East’s gift for raw soul with a blistering live take on the Sam & Dave classic, “Hold On, I’m Comin’.”
