Julien Baker / Torres - Send A Prayer My Way Blue Vinyl

New alt-country jams from Memphis' pride JULIEN BAKER!

Julien Baker & TORRES’ Send A Prayer My Way was 
written and sung in the best of the outlaw tradition—
defiant, subversive, working class, and determined to
wrestle not only with addiction, regret and bad decisions,
but also with oppressive systems of power. Mercifully, this
is only the beginning of the stories TORRES and Baker are
determined to tell. Because these are also songs about
radical empathy and second chances, and third chances,
and while there’s plenty of struggle and regret in here,
there’s also humor and defiance.

Send A Prayer My Way has been in the works for years.
Imagine two young musicians playing their first show
together at Lincoln Hall, a much-loved venue here in
Chicago. It’s January 15, 2016, and bone chillingly cold
outside, especially for a couple of southerners. When the
show is over and they’re shooting the shit, one singer
says to the other, “We should make a country album.”

This is the origin story, the stuff of legend in the world of
country music, and the beginning of a collaboration
between two artists already admired for their spare,
elegant lyrics as well as the courage to share their
struggles with those who love their music. It’s also the
beginning of creating a work that, like the most
enduring country albums, sustains and inspires, reminding
both singer and listener that not one of us is ever totally
alone in this world, that music is a steady companion.
