Back in July, The Leo Weekly published an interview with Jenny Lewis where she is quoted as saying “I’m actually finishing up a mix on my record this week.” So, unless The Leo Weekly is lying, this news comes straight from one of America’s most beautifully voiced mouths. Alert your appropriate Kleenex stockists: tears incoming.

From the new album, The Voyager, available everywhere now.

Last year, Ryan Adams and Jenny Lewis hit the road together in support of their new albums; in Adams’ case, it was his self-titled LP, while Lewis showcased her Adams-assisted third solo album “The Voyager“. One of their stops was an appearance on the Austin City Limits ,
Jenny Lewis and Ryan Adams were the featured performers on the last weekend of January’s episode of Austin City Limits. Lewis played tracks from her two solo albums and a few Rilo Kiley tracks, while Ryan Adams did as much of a career-spanning set as he could with only six songs. This was Jenny Lewis’ first solo appearance on the show, and her first time on the show in almost a decade after she performed with Rilo Kiley in 2005. Adams hasn’t graced the ACL stage since 2006. Jenny Lewis also performed a web exclusive  “Slippery Slopes” one of my personal favourites.

Jenny Lewis setlist:
“Silver Lining”
“Head Under Water”
“Moneymaker”
“Just One Of The Guys”
“She’s Not Me”
“Acid Tongue”

Ryan also played this song “Dirty Rain”  for the ACL webpage not featured in the broadcast

Ryan Adams setlist:
“Stay With Me”
“Let It Ride”
“Do I Wait”
