Chuck Ragan announces new album ‘Love And Lore’
CHUCK RAGAN has announced a new album!
Titled Love And Lore, the upcoming album from the American singer is the long-awaited follow-up to 2014’s Till Midnight, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Rise Records.
First conceptualised in 2016 with studio work beginning in 2019, progress was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Love And Lore was posited on the shelf while he focused on his fly fishing operation in Grass Valley, CA to provide for his family. “We got serious about making this album again in 2022, but I didn’t have a ton of time to devote to it between being physically exhausted and having a toddler,” RAGAN admits. “It was just chaos.” (This also includes a tree falling on guitarist/pedal steel/multi-instrumentalist Todd Beene’s house.) Eventually Love And Lore was recorded in early 2023.
“I’m always trying to do something different because I feel like if we’re not searching, we’re not learning,” says the artist about the upcoming album. “My writing approach seems to be whatever the song needs or wherever the song takes you, just let it breathe.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, CHUCK RAGAN has released a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Wild In Our Ways. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Echo The Halls, which was released in November last year.
