Joe Henry – All The Eye Can See: New Song Of The Day

Joe Henry returns with a beauty. Today he releases All The Eye Can See, the title track to his upcoming album, due out in January.

Here is the blurb with details:

In a career spanning more than 30 years, three-time Grammy winner Joe Henry has left an indelible and unique imprint on American popular music. Known for his exploration of the human experience, Henry is a hyper- literate storyteller, by turns dark, devastating, and hopeful.

Today, the artist announces the new album “All The Eye Can See” – his sixteenth in solo – set to be released on January 27^th, 2023 on earMUSIC.

“As for the songs themselves, I hear them in part as springing out of our shared and traumatic experiences of the recent past, sure, as well as our present-day responses to them; but if I am honest, I know that I have never allowed myself to write and release songs as personal as these now feel to me.” – Joe Henry, November 2022

As a first taste of what is to come, the title track “All The Eye Can See” premieres today.

On “All The Eye Can See”, Henry is joined by more than 20 musicians, among them his trusted long-time musical companions and friends – his son Levon Henry on saxophone & clarinet, David Piltch on bass, Patrick Warren on piano & keys and John Smith on acoustic guitar.

It is an intimate album, highly emotional, amazingly quiet, beautiful, and relaxed, with simple yet skillful tunes, touching lyrics featuring 12 new and unforgettable songs, framed by an instrumental prelude and prologue.
