Album slated for Jan 27th release
Elle King will release her country debut album, Come Get Your Wife, on January 27th via Sony Music Nashville. King, who has been embraced by the Nashville community, wrote eight of the album’s 12 tracks. The set also features “Worth A Shot” with Dierks Bentley and “Drunk (And I Don’t Want To Go Home)” with Miranda Lambert that broke a 30 year country radio record earlier this year.
The quadruple Grammy nominee co-produced the album with award winning songwriter Ross Copperman and the result is a collection that moves through all the topics. From being a hot mess, a glorious excess and a woman coming into her own, King has created a very real, small-town frayed at the edges but solid at core missal.
“Even the album title, it comes from something some asshole said to my partner one night. Something thrown off in a bar, intended to put me in my place… and he probably didn’t think twice about it. But I did,” King shares.
With Come Get Your Wife, she sharpens her gaze, digs into her roots, puts her banjo front and center and creates a record that’s as alive and electric as she is. Taking all the pieces – the rock, soul, (blue)grass and country that she loves – she’s made an album that demands your attention, then delivers on all cylinders.
“There’s something about how you put the pieces together,” King offers of her first true country project. “This whole album is a crazy quilt of all sorts of moments and things that might not seem to go together, but because they’re me, they do. It’s very Southern Ohio, very who we are – and very much a lot of people who are just like me, because I know they’re out there.”
