The magnificent Phosphorescent will release a tribute to Willie Nelson on February 3rd entitled To Willie.

This will be the follow up to Matthew Houck’s 2007 album Pride which is a fantastic record for those fans of Will Oldham and Bon Iver.  Coming out on the label Dead Oceans, the new record is a love letter to Willie Nelson and selects many of his lesser known songs.  According to the press release there is a strong new confidence to the playing after much touring in support of Pride.

Rumour is that there is a also new Phosphorescent album of originals coming our way soon but no official info on that as yet.
