ABE PARTRIDGE in a very short time has become a revered songwriter, visual folk artist, and storyteller. He's been the subject of a very successful podcast called ALABAMA ASTRONAUT, toured the US and Europe extensively with Matthew Sweet, David Ford, Drivin' N' Cryin' and Red Clay Strays with whom he shares a side project with called The Psych Peas. This highly anticipated new album is produced by Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth.
Pilgrim Song is a collection of songs mostly inspired by Abe's quite unusual life - from rural Appalachian preacher to military war veteran to Alabama folk hero. "My life has been a pilgrimage of sorts" says Abe. The songs were all recorded to tape at the legendary Chase Park Transduction Studios in Athens, Ga with a band featuring Abe's longtime touring bandmates, along with Steve Shelley on drums. The songs range from the earthly to the surreal - at times playful and at others, serious as a heart attack - a soundtrack to a southern pilgrimage.
