Singer-songwriter Jarrod Dickenson will release a new album, BIG TALK, on February 3 through Hooked Records. The album’s latest single, “Home Again” featuring The Wood Brothers’ Oliver Wood and Jano Rix, premieres today exclusively via JamBase.
Dickenson, a Waco, Texas native now based in Nashville, recorded the 10-track BIG TALK in his current hometown at The Nashville Studio with engineer and frequent Wood Brothers collaborator, Brook Sutton. Produced by Dickenson, the sessions included Ted Pecchio (Doyle Bramhall II, Tedeschi Trucks Band) on bass, JP Ruggieri on guitars and Claire Dickenson on backing vocals. Rix also provided drums, percussion and keys throughout the album. Additionally, acclaimed producer Ethan Johns composed the string arrangement for the song “Goodnight.”
Regarding “Home Again,” Dickenson shared:
“‘Home Again’ was co-written with my good friend, and long-time collaborator, Seth Walker in a tiny apartment way up on the tip of Manhattan. It’s a song about this roaming lifestyle we lead. Ironically, this song was recorded in the middle of the Covid-19 lockdown when ‘home’ was just about the only place any of us got to see!
“I was fortunate enough to be joined by Oliver Wood and Jano Rix of The Wood Brothers on this track. Their immediately recognizable harmonies and soulful energy elevated this song to new heights, and I’m forever grateful for their contribution.”
Dickenson and Wood’s intertwining vocals on “Home Again” sound like they were meant to be heard together. Rix’s many contributions (drums, congas, percussion, Hammond organ, piano and vocals) round out the vibrant “Home Again,” which lands on streaming services tomorrow.
