Jill Andrews: Thirties on CD plus the literary companion to the album, Thirties: The Album in Portrait and Prose
Tenderly, hauntingly and without fear, Thirties chronicles Andrews’ journey through a decade rife with both beauty and brutality. She explores the isolation and joy of motherhood, the loss not of a lover, but a partner, the experience of growing older in a world that expects you to stay young forever. With co-producer Lucas Morton and help from friends including Grammy winning songwriting duo Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk, Natlie Hemby and Andrews’ Hush Kids bandmate Peter Groenwald, Thirties is at once profoundly intimate and artfully infectious, evocative of greats Lucinda Williams, Chrissie Hynde and Brandi Carlile.
From Jill, on the book:
As I finished recording the album, I still felt like I had more to say about this period of my life and I wanted to go deeper than a three minute song could take me. So I decided to write a book. It is entitled Thirties: The Album in Portrait and Prose.
"The stories in the book and album are not all wild or awe-inspiring. Many moments may feel quiet and every day, but I believe that in moments like these, where our minds drift and our hearts ache, deepest truths can be found. Each of the thirteen songs on the records has a companion piece, a story and photos, a vignette to bring you to the place of its origin. It is my hope that as you experience this album and book, you are able to find beauty and value in parts of your own life that you may not have expected."
