Biography
While Kurt Wagner’s role as bandleader in seminal soul/country/folk collective Lambchop sees him deal in multiple shades of deep-orange warmth, Cortney Tidwell’s solo career is often shaded by a kind of icy detachment; an engaging, beautiful coldness. At first glance they might not seem the most natural fit for an album of country takes from the 60s and 70s, but look a little deeper and Invariable Heartache makes perfect sense.
The genesis of this set lies in the cover of Don Williams’ I Believe in You that the pair performed at Nashville’s The Basement a couple of years ago – such was the reaction that working together more extensively became a priority (Wagner previously featured on Tidwell’s debut LP, Don’t Let Stars Keep Us Tangled Up).
