Tift Merritt - Bramble Rose

Release Date:02/19/2016;Notes:Limited Vinyl LP pressing. Bramble Rose, the debut album by Tift Merritt, celebrates it's fourteen year anniversary with a deluxe re-release on limited edition vinyl courtesy of Yep Roc Records, featuring reimagined artwork. Don Henley recalls of it's title track, "I'd wanted to record that song ever since I heard it," before releasing the song on his 2015 album Cass County (featuring guest vocalists Miranda Lambert and Mick Jagger). The New Yorker has called Tift Merritt "the bearer of a proud tradition of distaff country soul that reaches back to artists like Dusty Springfield and Bobbie Gentry," a standard upholding that got underway in earnest with Bramble Rose, the 2002 solo debut that put her on the Americana map forever.
