MUTT, from Cory Branan out May 22 label debut on Bloodshot Records + newly announced US tour dates

Plus, the launch of the album’s first single – “Bad Man”

“Intense dynamics, deep humor, brave production and heavy songwriting: A new voice emerges to run with the greats.” – Playboy on Branan’s last album, 12 Songs

On May 22, Cory Branan releases his Bloodshot Records label debut with MUTT. The new album is Branan’s third full-length, following the critically acclaimed releases The Hell You Say and 12 Songs. The former Memphis, now Nashville-located singer-songwriter has received praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, GQ, Billboard, Playboy, American Songwriter, and has appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman. Branan just ended a month-long stretch of dates with Chuck Ragan’s Revival Tour, and is now announcing a headlining US tour with special guest Audra Mae to celebrate the release of his new album.

To commemorate the album and tour announcement, we are launching the first single from the album, a song entitled,
“Bad Man.”

Self-produced and recorded primarily in San Francisco at Closer Studios, MUTT was engineered and mixed by Tim Mooney (drummer/engineer for American Music Club), and boasts notable contributors like Ralph Carney (Tom Waits’ horn player), Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars), and Jon Snodgrass (Drag The River). Additional guests include phenomenal rising talents like Amanda Shires, Danny Malone and John Elliott.
