Craft Recordings presents a vinyl LP reissue of Build Me Up From Bones, the chart-topping third album from acclaimed singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and 2021 Grammy nominee Sarah Jarosz. Originally released in 2013, Build Me Up From Bones found the then 22-year-old Jarosz displaying a new sense of confidence as a songwriter. Just five years earlier, when the Wimberley, TX, native was still in high school, she signed to the celebrated Americana label Sugar Hill Records. There, the young artist quickly established herself as a musical force with her 2009 debut, Song Up in Her Head, and 2011's Follow Me Down. But Build Me Up From Bones, recorded amid Jarosz's final semester at the prestigious New England Conservatory of Music, demonstrated significant artistic growth and maturity.
Writing nine of the album's 11 tracks, Jarosz revealed a greater sense of vulnerability in her songs, connecting with her listeners on a more personal level. It was a departure from her earlier work, in which she often wrote in third-person narratives. Highlights include the poetic "Over the Edge," ballad "Mile on the Moon" and the romantic "Build Me Up From Bones." The album also features two inspired covers: Joanna Newsom's "The Book of Right-On" and Bob Dylan's enduring "Simple Twist of Fate."
Produced by Jarosz and her longtime collaborator Gary Paczosa (Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss, Nickel Creek), Build Me Up From Bones showcased the artist's warm and expressive vocals, as well as her talents on the mandolin, guitar, and banjo. Jarosz's longtime bandmates – fiddle player Alex Hargreaves and cellist Nathaniel Smith – provided accompaniment, alongside an impressive line-up of all-star guests, including legendary guitarist/producer Jerry Douglas, singer-songwriter Darrell Scott, Chris Thile of Nickel Creek, and pedal steel master Dan Dugmore.
Upon its release, Build Me Up From Bones was both a critical and commercial triumph, garnering Jarosz Grammy nods for Best Folk Album and Best American Roots Song (for the title track). The LP topped the Americana Radio chart and peaked at No. 6 on Billboard's Americana Albums, while it received broad acclaim.
