NEW YORK (AP) — At an age when many contemporaries contemplate retirement, musician T Bone Burnett has made big changes in his life and art.
Burnett, most celebrated for his production acumen, uprooted from Los Angeles to move to Nashville and recorded a warm-hearted disc of his own songs for the first time in nearly two decades. Indie rockers Lucius and Rosanne Cash add their voices to the acoustic collection.
“I’m so grateful that this music has come to me out of nowhere and without even trying for it to happen,” Burnett, 76, says in an interview with The Associated Press. “You know, it feels like the most pure experience of making music I’ve ever had.”
His disc, “The Other Side,” comes out Friday, the same day as Taylor Swift’s new “Tortured Poets Department.” They will not be competing at the top of the charts.
“She’s a miraculous person, Taylor Swift,” Burnett says. “She’s an amazing force for good in the world. She’s like Springsteen. She makes a connection with the audience. That is a gift from God. And that’s not my gift.”
