(PR) After two records and a Grammy nomination, Tift Merritt took hiatus with a piano in Paris and was rewarded with an unbridled inspiration and a wealth of her most accomplished songs to date. On February 26, Concord Music Group�s Fantasy Records will release Merritt�s Another Country.
Merritt�s debut Bramble Rose earned spots on both Time Magazine and the New Yorker�s year-end Top Ten lists. Tambourine, her sophomore album, was Grammy nominated for Country Album of the Year and earned numerous accolades from press and fans. She has appeared on �The Tonight Show� and �The Late Show with David Letterman,� and shared the stage with Elvis Costello, Gillian Welch, Emmylou Harris, Ryan Adams, Willie Nelson, and Nickel Creek. Her Austin City Limits television performance was released on DVD in October of 2007.
Another Country was written by Tift Merritt, produced by George Drakoulias, and recorded by David Bianco. The players include guitarists Charlie Sexton and Doug Pettibone and Tift�s longtime band, Zeke Hutchins (drums), Jay Brown (bass) and Danny Eisenberg (keyboards).
Merritt will also host her very own public radio program starting in early �08. A program of artist-to-artist radio interviews entitled �The Spark� will debut on Marfa, Texas Public Radio on January 27, 2008. Merritt�s very first guest is Nick Hornby.
