// Comedian Stephen Lynch Tracks In Nashville //
The self-proclaimed “musician trapped in the body of a comedian” has
recorded his fifth album, Lion, which is slated for a Nov. 13 release. Recorded
in Nashville, Lion brings Lynch together with famed producer Doug Lancio
(Patty Griffin, Jack Ingram) who produced, mixed and engineered the record.
Lion also features Tennessee-based singer-songwriter Courtney Jaye, who
adds an unexpected angelic sound to her featured tracks.
