Ever since catching a bit of Bry Webb‘s “Someplace I’m Supposed To Be” on the radio last March, I’ve been waiting for the official cut to surface. (Turns out many others were, too, as his FB page blew up with inquiries after the broadcast.) A few things got in the way for Webb, though, with a reunion of his rock band Constantines and a solo LP in the works amid family life. Now the reunion and record are set for 2014, complete with said track due in May. Today we have an intro to Free Will in the form of “AM Blues,” a sullen, pastoral shuffle with a brief Wilco-esque feedback flourish and breezy backup vocals recalling (Webb admirer/former tourmate) Leslie Feist. The sophomore set, produced by Jeff McMurrich in Toronto, comes out on May 20th. Hear a taste above and in the trailer below:
