GRACE POTTER TO RELEASE T BONE BURNETT-PRODUCED ALBUM MEDICINE ALBUM DUE OUT MAY 30

Grammy-nominated musician Grace Potter is set to release her new album Medicine via Hollywood Records on May 30th. In 2008, Potter went into the studio with the legendary T Bone Burnett and cut an album unlike any other in her wildly expansive body of work. Made with a wrecking crew of musical luminaries, the Burnett-produced LP captured Potter at a moment of profound metamorphosis, then wound up shelved.

Potter has now joined forces with Hollywood Records to unearth those recordings from deep in the vaults and release Medicine: a powerhouse album that’s equal parts archival gem and thrilling new addition to her extraordinary catalog.

Potter also released the first single from the album “Before the Sky Falls.” With its strutting grooves, rumbling drums, and frenetic guitar tones, the quietly seductive track channels the supreme pleasure of surrendering to love in times of chaos. One of the first songs recorded for Medicine, “Before The Sky Falls,” also set the tone for near-telepathic improvisation that fueled much of the album.

“This record brought me to a new understanding of the diversity of musicality I have within me—it showed me I had so much to share beyond the very male-based, ’70s-throwback, rock-and-roll thing I had been known for up to that point,” says Potter. “Maybe it was just so far behind its time or so ahead of its time that I needed to step away from it for a while, keep exploring and keep moving away from anything derivative. This is an album that truly belongs in its own space, and I’m so happy to finally give it the platform I know it deserves.”
