Watch The Trailer For Joe Henry’s Reverie

With 12 acclaimed albums already under his belt, producer and Grammy-winning musician Joe Henry is set drop Reverie October 11 via Anti- Records. Though it’s entirely acoustic, don’t expect soft and sweet.

“I knew it should be stripped and lean but not demur, sonically speaking; in black and white, but not without red blood in its veins,” Henry says.

“This album speaks about time. The great river that reminds us we are buoyant after all, as its moving current lifts us by the chin and just off of the balls of our feet, while we strain to dig our toes into the sandy ground,” he adds. “I am not convinced that any song exists without some knowing nod in its direction. And so with Reverie I am nodding, then –to time, but also to all the love, hope, despair, and revelation that stands naked inside its weather.

NPR recently premiered Reverie’s “Odetta” on All Songs Considered. It’s a somewhat spiritual track that embraces the subject of mortality and refers to political folk singer Odetta. Listen here.
