Third Man Records has announced the extraordinary new album from Nashville-based singer-songwriter-musician Lillie Mae. FOREVER AND THEN SOME arrives worldwide on Friday, April 14th and is available for pre-order now, with all digital pre-orders receiving an instant download of the album's wistful first single, "Over The Hill and Through The Woods," which was also released today.
"Over The Hill and Through The Woods" is accompanied by a companion video, directed by acclaimed filmmaker, photographer, and producer Elise Tyler (Damien Jurado, William Tyler, Kevin Morby). The clip premieres today on YouTube. "Over The Hill and Through The Woods" will also be available as a vinyl 7", beginning tomorrow, February 24th, at thirdmanstore.com. A limited edition 7" will then be released exclusively at Third Man's Nashville and Detroit retail stores for Record Store Day 2017 on April 22nd.
Lillie Mae will celebrate the release of FOREVER AND THEN SOME with a wide-ranging run of North American live dates, starting with a March 9th headline show at The Syndicate Lounge in Birmingham, AL on the way to Austin, TX for South by Southwest (SXSW), and then hitting the road with Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals. For tickets, updates, and additional dates, please visit lilliemaemusic.com.
Lillie Mae has been singing and playing on stages across the country since she could stand on her own two feet. FOREVER AND THEN SOME sees the Nashville-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist weaving her own extraordinary experiences with the myriad strains of Americana to create a breathtaking song cycle of romance and struggle, solitude and adventure. Songs like "Wash Me Clean" and "Honky Tonks and Taverns" stand out as snapshots of intimacies, encounters, and moments that matter, reverberating with earnest emotion and restless creative energy. Produced by 12-time GRAMMY® Award-winner Jack White III at Third Man Studio in Nashville, FOREVER AND THEN SOME affirms Lillie Mae as a remarkably gifted musical storyteller, a bright new star that's been here all along.
FOREVER AND THEN SOME features backing throughout by the core combo of Frank Carter Rische on electric and acoustic guitars, Scarlett Rische on mandolin, and the veteran rhythm section of bassist Brian Zonn and drummer Tanner Jacobson. Other notables appearing include keyboardist Dean Fertita (The Dead Weather, Queens of the Stone Age), banjo player Ian Craft (The Howlin' Brothers), and Old Crow Medicine Show pianist Cory Younts, with harmony vocals from McKenna Grace Rische and singer-songwriter Carey Kotsonis.

is anyone starting to wonder if Lillie Mae will be the next Vault release? i have this feeling that a decision is in the works …. Olivia or Lillie Mae…. but in the corner of my mind i keep trying to remind myself that Karen has just now put 2 singles out and has a pre order release in the works for her vinyl…. jack wasnt kidding about ‘got 3 women’ and yet i really do think i recall Olivia having some comment out there about booking a tour…. too rich for my blood to toss my hat in the ring and guess in a definitive manner…. good luck ladies!
I am planning to visit Nashville for the very first time for this year’s record store day. Very pleased that I will be able to get the exclusive Lillie Mae limited edition 7".
Also, I have been doing some research… I’m planning on staying at an airbnb home in East Nashville. I would appreciate any and all recommendations. I live in NYC and would love a purely local Nashville experience.
Thanks!
I’m going to see the Decemberists at the Ryman on 4/12/17…believe I’ll stick around a few days and see if Lillie Mae shows up at TMR to do a show.
I hope there may be a vault package of Lillie Mae live sometime in the future. It sure would compliment some vault packages of the past that Lillie Mae has been on with Jack White.
Is it April 14th yet? Maybe this is a clever April fools joke and it will be released on the 1st of April instead. Ok that’s probably not going to happen but I can dream.
Releasing the full track list first in classic form. Gets me thinking anyway
The talented and lovely Lillie Mae: “…a bright new star that’s been here all along.”
Well done.
Looking forward to this in MN. Definitely.
looking forward to setting aside time to listen to this and really enjoy it to the fullest is high on my list of good times!!!! Long time comin and surely it will be jam packed with wholesome creative goodness… Hoping for a collection of gems with this release!
