It’s just been announced that Conor Oberst is working with the Felice Brothers band again on a new (sort of) album. “Salutations” is going to be 7 new tracks, plus all the songs from “Ruminations” done with a full band instead of solo. Yesterday they released the first new track, “Napalm,” as well as their version of “A Little Uncanny.” .Created with help from The Felice brothers Jim Keltner , the record will also feature My Morning Jackets Jim James as well as Blake Mills , Gillian Welch and others .
Salutations also features Oberst’s Monsters Of Folk bandmate Jim James and drummer Jim Keltner. The Felice Brothers will join Oberst on tour (seriously must-see live) for dates in Europe as well as a handful in the States. The album is up for pre-sale through Nonesuch Records.
“Napalm” is, in an electrifying track Conor Oberst has released since “Roosevelt Room” which appeared on Outer South. There’s a little twang in the vocals on some lyrics, and since Ian Felice isn’t focused on singing he’s free to go wild on lead guitar.
