David Scott and I are happy to announce the release of our duet album Turn Like the World Does on My Dark Star Records. The first single “The Way You Remember Things” will be available for download on itunes on February 3, 2012 and the entire album, on February 20, 2012.

Turn Like the World Does features 8 new co-writes from David and I, plus writing contributions from Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub, Bill DeMain of Swan Dive, and my old Parlor James partner Ryan Hedgecock. The songs were recorded at Davie’s home in East Kilbride, Scotland.

My latest solo CD, Sheffield Streets, is out now on New York City’s Urban Myth Records. It was recorded in Los Angeles with my friend the great drummer Don Heffington producing and drumming in his home studio. I did 2 thrilling duets, one with Elvis Costello on my father’s song Monsters of the Id, with my father Mose Allison on piano and Elvis on vocals, and one with Dave Alvin playing and singing on an old song of mine, Everybody Ought to Know.
