If Shannon Whitworth's first two albums were cross-country treks, High Tide is a trans-atlantic voyage. Leaving all preconceptions of the banjoweilding songstress behind, Whitworth's new adventure steers into waters both familiar and refreshingly new, Gibson SG in hand. On the heels of a year spent touring with Chris Isaak and the Tedeschi-Trucks Band, High Tide finds her collaborating with Bill Reynolds (Band of Horses) and producer Seth Kauffman. From the first rolling rhythms, it's evident that this album charts new waters. This album is a wonderful listen, combining Whitworths Appalachian roots with elements of jazz and indie rock.
