Doug Paisley will follow 2010’s Constant Companion, an excellent set featuring Feist harmonies and keys by none other than The Band’s Garth Hudson — with his most collaborative effort so far early next year. Strong Feelings arrives on January 21st via No Quarter Records. Other details accompany the album announcement, but I’d rather defer to Paisley’s own understated statement that it’s “just 10 new songs,” given that he’s an accomplished songwriter whose tunes simply speak for themselves. Among others, Hudson returns this round, adding the kind of essential keys accompaniments one would expect from a living legend. Hear him glue “Song My Love Can Sing” together on organ above and watch him join Paisley in the studio for “What’s Up Is Down” below:
