Tift MerrittTift Merrittthe everybodyfieldsthe everybodyfieldsAfter a Grammy nomination, and top 10 albums in The New Yorker and Time Magazine, Tift Merritt took hiatus with a piano in Paris and came home with her best and most personal songs to date: her new album Another Country came out February 26 to broad acclaim.

"I first heard Tift Merritt some years ago during a writer's night at a small club. She stood out like a diamond in a coal patch, and everyone there knew she carried a promise of great things to come. She has more than fulfilled that promise, especially here on her lovely new album 'Another Country'." - Emmylou Harris

“The most accomplished new American female singer-songwriter to emerge in a decade”—Uncut

“Why isn’t Tift Merritt famous? For one thing, she’s responsible for one of the best acoustic guitar strums of 2004—the simple notes that usher in “Stray Paper,” the opening cut off her new album Tambourine. They’re everything they should be and nothing more: thick, melodic and in service to the singer. And when coupled with the track’s lyrics, the song suggests a stately Neil Young, but with Merritt’s composed, gorgeous voice rather than a world-weary falsetto.”—Pitchfork

Tift Merritt's guests tonight are The everybodyfields. The everybodyfields from Johnson City, TN are rapidly gaining a reputation as the front-runners of the newest generation of the alt-country movement. Their melancholic interpretations of universal human stories are set to achingly beautiful melodies and put to life with such instrumentation as lap steel, lead guitar, electric bass, piano and acoustic guitar.
