Slate Creek Records artist Angaleena Presley gave Nashville media a preview of her project American Middle Class earlier this week. Guests enjoyed a home-cooked meal of soup beans, cornbread, cucumber and tomato salad, and blackberry cobbler, while Presley shared the stories behind the songs on the album with host Robert K. Oermann.

American Middle Class, a dozen-song concept record, was co-produced by Presley and husband Jordan Powell, and will release Oct. 14.
