Description
Rejoice! Singer-songwriter Lydia Loveless’ highly anticipated fourth album, Real, will be released August 19th.

Real was recorded at Sonic Lounge Studios on her home turf of Columbus, OH and was engineered and produced by Joe Viers. “I chose to work with Joe Viers, engineer and producer of my last three releases, again because I trust him completely not only with my music but with my words,” Lydia said. “There was a lot to say this time around and I wanted to return to that sort of playground and (sometimes literally) throw things at the wall. Whereas our previous records could be described as blunt or raw, this one I wanted to be known as honest, as true, as real (rimshot),” she added.

Real is one of those exciting records where you sense an artist truly hitting their stride, that their vision is both focused and expansive, and that their talent brims with a confident sense of place, execution and exploration. Whether you've followed Lydia's career forever, like us, or if you are new to her ample game, Real is gonna grab your ears.

Like that video and everything Lydia has released so far. Another automatic pick-up for me.

This is really, really good. She is one of those rare artists who writes emotionally engaging material that also kicks ass. (Chrissie Hyde is another.) Added bonus: the album is really well-produced and sounds great.

Since this was bumped, a new promo video came out recently, so let me add that to the thread too:
