Nellie McKay's Hey Guys, Watch This on LP. Features Updated Artwork and Remastering by Grammy Winner Michael Graves. Available for the First Time as an LP.
Under the lonesome cry of the midnight train, stars twinkling over hillbilly lights in the mountain fog, Nellie McKay returns with her new album, Hey Guys, Watch This.
Recorded in Charleston, West Virginia with The Carpenter Ants - Michael Lipton, Ted Harrison, Jupie Little, and Mark Bate and a roving retinue of musical compadres, Hey Guys, Watch This traces the haunted sounds of Appalachia through lush sonic textures. So unpack your washtub bass, fill up your red cup, and pull on your shitkickers - ’cos the night is young and the moon is bright, even if we’re not.
Hey Guys, Watch This will be available for the first time as an LP, with updated artwork and remastering by multiple Grammy winner Michael Graves.
Nellie has produced an array of wildly varying albums, including her groundbreaking 2004 debut Get Away From Me and Normal as Blueberry Pie: A Tribute To Doris Day (“among the killer overhauls of American standards” - The New York Times). On Obligatory Villagers (2007), local Poconos hometown jazz greats Bob Dorough, Phil Woods, and David Liebman contribute their exceptional talents, and McKay’s album of saloon songs, Sister Orchid, speaks of the night, the outsider, the plaintive wail of those lost at sea. (The Star-Tribune calls Sister Orchid the most lonely, romantic album imaginable.”)
