Dark Night of the Soul

Jimbo Mathus' ninth album, 'Dark Night of the Soul' is released on Fat Possum Records. Mathus recorded the album over the course of nearly a year at Dial Back Sound Studio with his band, The Tri-State Coalition. On most of the tracks on 'Dark Night Of The Soul', Mathus' acoustic guitar is surrounded by electric guitar played by his longtime sideman Matt Pierce and pal Eric 'Roscoe' Ambel. (Ambel produced 'White Buffalo' but on 'Dark Night' he focuses exclusively on his righteous guitar playing.) The album's raw, rock sound arose from the fact that most of the tracks were recorded live in the studio with Mathus' band, the Tri-State Coalition, which he found a very liberating way of doing it.
