180g Double LP!
Highway Prayers is the highly anticipated 2024 studio album from GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician Billy Strings. Produced by Strings and Jon Brion (Fiona Apple, Mac Miller, Aimee Mann), the album includes 20 original songs including the first single, "Leadfoot." Written by Strings, the song features Strings on vocals, banjo, bass, steel guitar, EBow electric guitar and 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle along with Matt Chamberlain on drums.
Recorded in Los Angeles and Nashville, the album features Strings and his longtime band—Billy Failing (banjo, vocals), Royal Masat (bass, vocals), Jarrod Walker (mandolin, vocals) and Alex Hargraves (fiddle)—as well as additional contributions from Brion (bass, drums, percussion), Chamberlain (drums), Jerry Douglas (dobro), Jason Carter (fiddle), Lindsay Lou (backing vocals), Nathaniel Smith (cello), Taneka Samone (backing vocals), Cory Henry (piano), Peter "Madcat" Ruth (harmonica, jaw harp) and Victor Furtado (clawhammer banjo).
...an inventive, freewheeling ride that flaunts its increased budget not through studio gloss but a heightened sense of ambition...a lot of fun...
