Edith Grove CD Release Party August 18, 2006

Edith Grove's second album of original Americana music, “Highway of Diamonds,” will be celebrated with a release party at the Albuquerque Press Club. The band will be joined by local favorites the Rivet Gang and special guests like pedal steel player David Gutierrez and violinist Catherine Cunningham. Admission is free, but attendees need to sign in on arrival at the club.

More info: Recorded by Brett Sparks of the Handsome Family at Handsome Family Studios in Albuquerque, NM, “Highway of Diamonds” finds Edith Grove filtering their rock, country and folk roots through Amanda Kooser’s distinctively lyrical songwriting lens. Her original songs share the stage with two reworked traditionals: “Man of Constant Sorrow” and “Rye Whiskey.” Themes of travel, heartbreak, trains and whiskey flow across the album and tie the songs together.
