Lindsay Lou released a new single, “Nothing Else Matters,” featuring dobro ace Jerry Douglas. The track is set for the singer-songwriter’s forthcoming album, Queen Of Time, due out on September 29 via Kill Rock Stars Nashville.
Queen Of Time marks Lindsay Lou’s first LP since 2018’s Southland. Produced by Dave O’Donnell (James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, Heart), Lindsay heralded the 11-track record in early June with a video for the title track. The album sees guest spots from guitarist Billy Strings and the aforementioned Jerry Douglas.
“There is something incredibly iconic to Jerry’s playing; it’s unmistakable,” Lindsay said about Douglas. “Like every touch of his bar to the string speaks exactly to the heart of the song. I feel really honored to have his musical voice among the players.”
Lindsay co-wrote “Nothing Else Matters” with Maya de Vitry and Phoebe Hunt. She shares the song as the second preview of Queen Of Time, which saw the singer-songwriter processing “the loss of her grandmother, the end of her marriage, and the overwhelming turmoil of COVID lockdowns,” as per a press release.
“I first heard this song when Phoebe sent me a few tracks to learn for a gig we had together,” Lou recalled. “She told me that she had written it with my dear friend Maya, who was one of the first people I called when I was going through my divorce. Though the song wasn’t written for me specifically, it feels like it came to me right when I needed it.”
