Dave Stewart - Selections from the Blackbird Diaries (Limited Edition) (Double Vinyl LP - 9/23/2011)

Stalwart producer/songwriter and former Eurythmic Dave Stewart offers up the most atypical record of his career to date with this Nashville-recorded effort. It’s arguably one of the most successfully executed sidesteps in pop music. Featuring guest turns from new NPR darlings the Secret Sisters, plus Stevie Nicks, Martina McBride (John McBride is an associate producer and engineer on the album) and Colbie Caillat, The Blackbird Diaries further cements Stewart’s reputation as an ace writer and performer. There’s a temptation here to refer to the 13-song album as Stewart’s country album and no doubt future rock historians will give in to said temptation but it’s an inaccurate description. Beaucoups of Blues was Ringo Starr’s country album and it was country end to end; The Blackbird Diaries has elements of country and yet fully retains plenty of rock and pop pleasures throughout.
