Jim Lauderdale, a two-time GRAMMY award winning artist and Americana pioneer, will release two records simultaneously on Friday, August 3. Yep Roc Records will release both albums, titled Time Flies and Jim Lauderdale and Roland White. These releases mark the reunion of Jim Lauderdale and Yep Roc Records after a decade apart.

According to a press release, the two albums are new, but only Time Flies was recorded recently. Jim Lauderdale and Roland White was Lauderdale’s first full-length album, recorded in 1979 but un-released due to its being lost for nearly 40 years. Both were recorded in Nashville, the former in Blackbird Studio and House of Blues Studios, and the latter in the basement of Earl and Louise Scruggs’ home at the time of its recording.
