Elvie Shane - Damascus (CD)

Full of unflinching honesty rooted in compassionate clarity, Elvie delivers his most daring work yet with his forthcoming sophomore album DAMASCUS releasing April 19th 2024.With each track stepping into the shoes of another, Elvie takes pieces of each character he’s met on his path, melding them into one beautifully woven work. The road to Damascus isn’t a journey one takes lightly, yet the album tells the stories of those often untold, giving each testimony a chance to shine through. Elvie co-wrote all songs on the project produced by his frequent collaborator, Oscar Charles.He’s given listeners a taste of the project with releases of “Baptized,” “Jonesin’” and “Forgotten Man,” with the latter dubbed “an ode to blue-collar workers that exposes the heart-aching realities of the working class,” (Billboard), and with his latest track “Pill,” critics praised its gripping honesty as it “further cements Shane as a new voice of the damaged, addicted, and lost in country music,” (Rolling Stone).Building his reputation as an artist “that would do Merle Haggard proud” (Rolling Stone), Elvie Shane reminds us that we’re more alike than different with “What Do I Know,” written with Oscar Charles, Dan Couch and Jonathan Sherwood. Full of lived-in honesty and fundamental truths, Elvie puts his gritty, powerful vocals on display with a mid-tempo version of his classic country-rock sound. TracklistOutside DogWhat Do I KnowJonesin’ (feat.
