"Blau has selected of bunch of heartbreaking tunes and wrapped them in luscious orchestrations, which just feel sublimely chill."

Karl Blau's recorded over 40 records in 20 years, and deals in lo-fi indie-folk and country on the acclaimed K Records imprint.

Here Blau returns with a classy collection of country classics. The concept for this album emerged when Tucker Martine asked Blau to sing on a version of That's How I Got To Memphis back in 2004. Blau has selected of bunch of heartbreaking tunes and wrapped them in luscious orchestrations, which just feel sublimely chill. The sweet honey of Blau's baritone deals astonishing covers of Fallin' Rain, Let The World Go By and Dreaming My Dreams.
