The new album from Alison Krauss & Union Station will be released tomorrow (4/12) bringing fans the first new music from the band since 2004. Paper Airplane, coming via Rounder Records, offers 11 tracks.
The band has also teamed with Target stores for an exclusive deluxe edition of the project which has an additional six tracks, including three studio songs – “These Days” and “A Place Outside,” both written by Angel Snow and Krauss’ brother, Viktor Krauss; and “Frozen Fields,” composed by Jeff Black and Jon Randall. The other three bonus tracks are live versions of “We Hide & Seek,” “Faraway Land” and “Every Time You Say Goodbye.” Target is selling the project at a $13.99 price point.
“These Days” is also being offered as a bonus track for iTunes pre-orders.
AKUS will spend release week in NYC making media appearances, including a visit to The Late Show with David Letterman on Wednesday, April 13, and The Today Show on Thursday, April 14.
The title track is the album’s first single, with the music video reaching No. 5 on CMT.com.
This is the band’s follow-up to 2004’s triple Grammy-winning Lonely Runs Both Ways. Krauss also won numerous Grammys for her collaboration with Robert Plant four years ago.
Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas are set for a nationwide tour launching in June and visiting over 50 cities through September.
