\n\t\u201cTo notice and embrace this very significant period of grief in my life and make art from it,\u201d he said in a statement about his inspiration for the LP, which will drop just a year after the bluegrass star\u2019s mother, Debra Apostol, died unexpectedly in her sleep while her son was on stage at the Charlotte Bluegrass Festival in Michigan. \u201cTo turn my heartbreak into songs while using my guitar as a coping mechanism as I always have. It\u2019s always been there for me to lean on through the hard times, and I figure it always will \u2026 until it\u2019s my time to say goodbye.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe follow-up to 2025\u2019s Grammy-winning Highway Prayers<\/em> was co-produced by Strings and legendary producer T Bone Burnett and a release said it finds the performer \u201cchanneling a deeply personal period into his most musically mature and reflective body of work to date.\u201d Its cover will feature an original piece of art created by Apostol.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe album will be available in black, wood grain and sun core variants, with all the production originating in the U.S.; the records were plated and pressed at Denver\u2019s Paramount Pressing & Plating and cut for vinyl at Take Out Vinyl in Memphis. Strings dropped the collection\u2019s first single, the moody, introspective \u201cBurn the Other End\u201d on Tuesday (June 30), an urgent song that finds him singing, \u201cThis will break\/ I just can\u2019t\/ So I will burn the other end,\u201d on the chorus.<\/p>\n

\n\tStrings will return to PBS\u2019 Austin City Limits<\/em> series on Thursday (July 2), marking his first headlining concert since breaking his leg in a skateboarding accident earlier this year. He will then kick off an extensive U.S. summer tour with an appearance at Willie Nelson\u2019s annual July 4th concert in Austin, Texas at Germania Insurance Amphitheater and also team up with Sierra Hull, Leftover Salmon, Cryptopsy, See You Next Tuesday, Bane, For the Fallen Dreams, Greensky Bluegrass and others for his first annual Iona Freak Fair on Aug. 28 and 29 in Ionia, Mich.<\/p>\n
