“Grammy-winning singer-songwriters Mike Reid and Joe Henry have collaborated on a new album, Life & Time, set for release Sept. 5 on Work Song Inc via Thirty Tigers.
Life & Time sees the two hit songwriters turning a new page: Reid was an NFL All Pro before turning to a career in music which yielded 12 No. 1s and an induction to the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, and Henry penned 16 albums as a solo artist and has blazed a path as a Grammy-winning producer for Solomon Burke, Elvis Costello, Allen Toussaint, Julian Lage, and Bonnie Raitt.
The duo’s new album includes 12 songs rooted in piano ballads and feature upright bass, pedal steel and more. The idea for the collab was born when Reid and Henry first met sharing a table in the dining hall at Rodney Crowell’s Nashville songwriting camp. They exchanged shared influences, people that have contributed to their evolution as thinkers, readers and writers.”
