Album Notes

From the shores of California, through the streets of Nashville, Tennessee, to the long, lonely highways of Montana, John Craigie has spent the last six years "living the life romantic" of a continuously touring folk-singer. Montana Tale, his sixth studio album in as many years, is a rollicking collection of folk, bluegrass and barn-rock tunes culled from all those miles of dusty travel. Featuring the indomitable talents of Zach Gill (Jack Johnson, A.L.O.) on keys, Randy Schwartz (Brett Dennen) on drums and Leland Jackness (Dan and Leland) on guitar, Montana Tale crystallizes Craigie's evolving sound into a unique blend of Americana that is equal parts homage and innovation. Packed with songs destined to become classics, the album is a heartfelt love letter to the sights and sounds of the American highway.
