RILEY ETHERIDGE JR. TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM IN SEPTEMBER<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

NYC-based Americana singer-songwriter Riley Etheridge Jr. will be releasing his next album, The Arrogance Of Youth<\/em>, on September 18, 2012, via Rock Ridge Music (with distribution through ADA).\u00a0 The album features a broad palette of authentic and finely crafted Americana\u2014late-night blues, hard-luck folk, buoyant Bayou soul, barn-burning country.\u00a0 Etheridge\u2019s third album eloquently and emotionally looks deeply into the highly relatable quandary of \u201cif I knew then what I know now.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Says Etheridge of the album:\u00a0 \u201cThe arrogance of youth is a thread that winds itself through each of the songs.\u00a0 It\u2019s about how, as we mature, perspectives in our lives change in surprising ways. A lot of things I knew for sure when I was 19 turned out to not be the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

On The Arrogance Of Youth, <\/em>Etheridge surrounds himself with some of the finest musicians of New Orleans and Nashville (including a guest spot by longtime Willie Nelson harmonica player Mickey Raphael on \u201cWhole New Side Of Me\u201d).\u00a0 Etheridge tracked the album in both cities, lending a bi-locale aesthetic. \u00a0Longtime producer and creative partner Wendell Tilley was on board for this album, furthering the duo\u2019s vision of creating a unique Music City-country-meets-Crescent City-groove sensibility to accompany Etheridge\u2019s deeply confessional storytelling lyrics.<\/p>\n

Etheridge was born in South Carolina but spent 20 creatively transformative years in Louisiana, soaking up the region\u2019s unique and rich musical heritage. MusicFog.com<\/em> succinctly says: \u201cRiley lives in New York now, but you can still track the south in his music.\u201d Etheridge has been favorably compared to Radney Foster, Billy Joe Shaver, and Uncle Tupelo, among others.\u00a0 His moving lyrics are often singled out in reviews. Innocent Words<\/em> praised his writing, saying, \u201cNothing grabs your attention more than Etheridge\u2019s clever word play and finesse with the language of love, lust, and loss.\u201d The bible of hip, modern Americana, No Depression,<\/em> named him an artist to watch.\u00a0\u00a0 Over the years, Etheridge has shared stages with a broad array of respected artists such as Ricky Skaggs, Sister Hazel, Tony Lucca, and Matt Duke, among many others.<\/p>\n
