Chris Shiflett Releases First Track From New Solo Effort
Foo Fighters member Chris Shiflett is premiering a new song, “Liar’s Word,” today. The track comes from Shiflett’s new solo album, Hard Lessons, which is set for release June 14 on East Beach Records & Tapes/Thirty Tigers.
The album is available now for pre-order, and each digital pre-order comes with an immediate download of the previously released tracks, “Welcome To Your First Heartache” and “This Ol’ World.” Hard Lessons was recorded at Nashville’s RCA Studio A and produced by Dave Cobb. The album features 10 new songs including a duet with Elizabeth Cook on “The One You Go Home To” and special guest guitarist Laur “Little Joe” Joamets on “This Ol’ World.”
“I remember one night between Foo Fighters gigs last year I went out for dinner with Dave Cobb to chit chat about making this record,” recalls Shiflett. “He said he had a vision of me playing through an old Marshall JCM-800. So, when it came time to record, we found one on Craigslist, cranked it up and it was perfect. I think this record hits a little closer to mixing everywhere I’ve been musically into one big blender and comes out something a little different. Since it was my second time working with Cobb and Co. out there at RCA Studio A, I kind of knew what to expect as far as his process, so I intentionally didn’t overthink or over-demo the songs because I didn’t want to get too stuck on any ideas I brought with me. I couldn’t be more excited about the results.”
Hard Lessons is Shiflett’s fourth solo album and the second in collaboration with Cobb who produced 2017’s widely praised West Coast Town.
