(En français ci-dessous)Signed CD with 12 songs and liner notes + a sticker. You will also receive a download of the album as well as an acoustic bonus track not available anywhere else. Also contains a link to get exclusive access to the lyrics and their English translation. The new songs on “Outside, It’s America” both represent America as seen through the eyes of an adopted-son, and also the reflection of France through the eyes of an increasingly Americanized Frenchman who has traveled far and wide. The opening track, “Dehors, c’est l’Amerique” (“Outside, It’s America”) kicks off with the wailing of an oncoming train, merges from railroad rattles to an easy lap steel, until finally the French lyrics begin, grounded by a comfortable honky-tonk rhythm.This album was recorded and produced at "8 Ball studio" in Portland by Rob Stroup (who has also worked with Tony Furtado, Portland Cello Project, Vagabond Opera, Debra Arlyn)Released March 23, 2012Todd Bayles - Accordion, Cello, mandoli
