John Paul White The Hurting Kind Vinyl

Grammy Award winner John Paul White confirms the release of his third solo album, The Hurting Kind, out on Single Lock Records.

The record was co-produced with Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes) and features contributions from a core group of musicians including Jon Radford (Leigh Nash, Odessa) and Reed Watson on drums, Pat Bergeson (Chet Atkins, Emmylou Harris) on electric guitar, Jon Estes (Robyn Hitchcock, Kesha) and David Hood (Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section) on bass and Lillie Mae (Jack White) on fiddle, plus guest vocals from Lee Ann Womack and background vocals from Erin Rae and The Secret Sisters.

He has cultivated his career in Nashville for two decades, first as a songwriter for a major publisher, then as half of The Civil Wars; a groundbreaking duo that won four Grammy Awards before disbanding in 2012. White's collaborations include contributions to recordings by Rodney Crowell, Rosanne Cash, Jason Isbell, Candi Staton and Emmylou Harris, and production work with Lera Lynn, Lindi Ortega and  Dylan LeBlanc. White is also a partner in Single Lock Records, an independent record label based in Florence, Alabama.
