Tom Brosseau releasing "Grand Forks" in the new year

Tom Brosseau has set a January 23rd release date for his upcoming album Grand Forks. Brosseau claims the recording is about "the great flood of 1997, homelessness, the love of the sound of the fabulous 50's/Les Paul and Mary Ford, traveling/keeping the directing sunlight out of your face on the freeway" and recorded with producer Gregory Page at the Maybellaine garage in San Diego. The track "Fork In The Road" also features John Doe of X while violinist Hilary Hahn is featured on "Fork in the Road" and "Blue Part of the Windshield."

He'll also be playing a record release show on January 20th at the Tractor Tavern in Seattle, Washington.
