This third album from Bella White is a body of work steeped in the life-altering magic of its origins. The Calgary-born singer/songwriter left her home on Vancouver Island and moved to New Orleans, where she soon became happily enmeshed in the city’s vibrant indie-rock scene. As she immersed herself in the unfettered, open-hearted creativity of her newfound musical community, the 25-year-old lifelong musician began assembling a suite of songs that stretch far beyond her bluegrass roots and arrive at a moodier, more audacious breed of folk/Americana. Bella comments, “This album was a real labor of love and so empowering to make—it validated that I trust myself and trust my vision, and now I just want to keep doing it my way and keep working with people I believe in.”

Blues Hall of Fame inductee and 6-time Blues Music Award winner, Joe Louis Walker stretches out into soul, funk, and New Orleans 2nd line, too on WEIGHT OF THE WORLD. No wonder NPR describes him as “a legendary boundary-pushing icon of modern blues.”

For her first album in four years, Carlile had the intention of making a bit more of a stripped-down, intimate, and personal production here. See if you hear that on these new songs, with help from producer (and member of The National) Aaron Dessner, Andrew Watt (who produced the Elton John collaboration, Who Believes in Angels?), and Justin Vernon (Bon Iver). Then there’s Phil Hanseroth (bass, electric guitar), Tim Hanseroth (electric guitar, acoustic guitar), Josh Klinghoffer (pedal steel, synthesizers, electric guitar, piano, keyboards, organ), Matt Chamberlain (drums, percussion), Chad Smith (drums, percussion), Dave Mackay (synthesizers, organ) Stewart Cole (French horn, trumpet), SistaStrings (strings) Rob Moose (strings), Blake Mills (fretless baritone guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar), Mark Isham (tenor saxophone) and Elton John (Rhodes piano)
