Description
Beloved, GRAMMY award-winning singer songwriters Mike Reid and Joe Henry confirm a new collaborative album, Life & Time, set for release September 5 on the Work Song Inc label. Life & Time sees the two hit songwriters turning a new page: Reid, whose beginnings as an NFL All Pro preceded a music career which has seen 12 #1’s and an induction to the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, and Henry, who has penned 16 critically acclaimed albums as a solo artist and has blazed a path as a GRAMMY-winning producer (Solomon Burke, Elvis Costello, Allen Toussaint, Julian Lage, Bonnie Raitt). Reid steps forward as the singer of the duo here, the weather in his burnt-umber voice telegraphing a depth of experience that allows the speakers of each song to coalesce.

The album’s twelve songs, rooted in piano ballads, feature upright bass, pastoral orchestral flourishes in the distance, pied pipes on the periphery, and twinkling pedal steel. They are moody and lush, rich in imagery, with prismatic chords that call forth their colors, yet not so dense as to weigh down the songs’ tuneful melodies.
