   ▓████▓▌       'Humming by the Flowered Vine' is the                     ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       much-anticipated third album (and Matador debut) by       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Nashville-born, New York-based performer Laura            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Cantrell.                                                 ▓▌

   ▓████▓▌       Produced by JD Foster (Richard Buckner, Marc              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Ribot), 'Humming by the Flowered Vine' features ten       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       extraordinary songs both crafted and caught. As on        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       her two previous albums, 'When the Roses Bloom            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Again' and 'Not the Tremblin' Kind,' Laura's own          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       compositions are some of the highlights. "Khaki &         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Corduroy" is a meditation on being a transplanted         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Southerner in New York City, "California Rose" was        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       inspired by the West Coast country music pioneer          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Rose Maddox, and "Old Downtown" draws on the story        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       of World War I hero Sgt. Alvin York.                      ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       New York figures prominently in both Emily Spray's        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       infectious "14th Street" and "Letters", a                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       previously unreleased Lucinda Williams song dating        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       back to her days as a struggling folk singer living       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       in the city. The album also includes a version of         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       the Appalachian murder ballad "Poor Ellen Smith,"         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       which was collected and published in the 1927 book        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       American Mountain Songs by Laura's great, great           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       aunt Ethel Park Richardson, a "songcatcher" from          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Chattanooga, TN, who went on to produce the NBC           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       radio drama "Heart-throbs of the Hills" throughout        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       the 1930s. The parallels between her and Laura's          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       own life were a recent discovery for Laura.               ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Born and raised in Nashville, Laura moved to New          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       York City to attend Columbia University, where she        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       soon found herself hosting a weekly country music         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       program on college station WKCR ("Tennessee               ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Border") and singing in dorms and coffeehouses.           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       After graduation, she recorded a CD and several           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       singles with the band Bricks, featuring her college       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       friend Mac McCaughan (who would later form                ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Superchunk and Merge Records). A move to Brooklyn         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       led to a friendship with John Flansburgh of They          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Might Be Giants, who recruited her to sing on "The        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Guitar" on the band's 1992 album Apollo 18. He also       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       offered to produce an EP of Laura's original songs        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       for the Giants' "Hello CD of the Month Club"              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       subscription service, which was originally released       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       in June 1996 and reissued last year as The Hello          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Recordings.                                               ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       In 2000. Laura's debut album, 'Not the Tremblin'          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Kind,' reached an international audience and was          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       championed by legendary BBC DJ John Peel, who             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       called it "my favourite record of the last ten            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       years and possibly my life." She recorded five Peel       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Sessions and had three songs on his annual "Festive       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Fifty" for 2000. With the release of When the Roses       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Bloom Again in 2002, she was hand-picked by Elvis         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Costello to open 17 dates on his U.S. tour. Both          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       albums also garnered four-star reviews in Rolling         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Stone, and led to appearances on the Grand Ole            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Opry, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, the Newport          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Folk Festival, World CafΘ, and Mountain Stage, as         ▓▌

   ▓████▓▌       song-by-song by Laura Cantrell                            ▓▌

   ▓████▓▌       14th Street (Emily Spray)                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       To a lot of New Yorkers, 14th Street is the               ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       unofficial divide between uptown and downtown. I          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       personally love 14th street û the Salvation Army,         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Union Square, the L train running just below. I           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       think this song also perfectly sums up the moment         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       when you see someone youÆre obsessed with on the          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       street and decide whether itÆs worth it to say            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       hello or stay safely in the background. IÆve known        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Emily, a Portland, Oregon native, for many years          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       and really appreciate the New York moment she             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       captured in this song.                                    ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       What You Said (Jenifer Jackson)                           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Jenifer is another great New York-based writer that       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       IÆve been fortunate to get to know, and this song         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       is from her wonderful 2001 album Birds. It has a          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       breezy joy that to me is perfect for summer, and          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Kenny Kosek contributes some lovely fiddle work           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       along with Rob Burger on accordion.                       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       And Still (Dave Schramm)                                  ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Dave played guitar with me when I toured with Elvis       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Costello in 2002, and his band The Schramms backed        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       me on some dates the following year. IÆve always          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       admired DaveÆs writing (his ôConquerorÆs Songö was        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       on my last album), and this was one of a couple of        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       songs-in-progress that he shared with me last             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       summer. When it came time to record, JD suggested         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       we try the song with Dave and Calexico, and later         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Amy Helm and Fiona McBain of Ollabelle added some         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       harmony. The song has a lot of depth and can be           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       very personal or applied universally.                     ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Khaki & Corduroy (Laura Cantrell)                         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       This one draws from a specific time and place for         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       me personally: New York in the mid-eighties when I        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       first moved here to attend college. ItÆs really not       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       about anything more than remembering people that          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       you knew in school, little details that stay in           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       your mind about old friends that you donÆt see            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       anymore. ItÆs also about the relationships from           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       that time of your life that are so powerful; and,         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       even though they usually donÆt last, their memories       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       are still very strong and will sometimes take you         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       by surprise.                                              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Letters (Lucinda Williams)                                ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       A friend played me a rough demo of this unreleased        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Lucinda song from her late seventies New York             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       period and it really struck a chord with me. Some         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       of us remember what it felt like in the pre-email         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       era to come home from a crummy job to find a              ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       beautiful letter in the mailbox. It was as if every       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       detail said something ù the paper and the envelope,       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       the postmark, the handwriting. The lyrics reminded        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       me of all those things and stuck in my head for           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       days. Then I knew I had to give it a go.                  ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       California Rose (Laura Cantrell)                          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Rose Maddox of the Maddox Brothers and Rose was one       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       of the great female artists of the honky-tonk era.        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Her family left Alabama in the Great Depression           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       under the guidance of their mother Lula, convinced        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       theyÆd find their fortune in California. When this        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       proved as elusive in California as it had been in         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       the South, the family turned its love for music           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       into a livelihood, and was soon dubbed ôAmericaÆs         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Most Colorful Hillbilly Band.ö RoseÆs eventual            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       struggle to leave the family band behind to find          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       success as a solo artist came at a huge cost. She         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       is one of country musicÆs female pioneers not             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       recognized by the Country Music Hall of Fame, so I        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       thought she was due a tribute in song.                    ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Wishful Thinking (Wynn Stewart)                           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       I have a great fondness for the country music that        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       came out of California in the late fifties and            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       early sixties. This shuffle was written and               ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       recorded by the Bakersfield honky-tonk legend Wynn        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Stewart, and was also covered by one of my favorite       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       ôgirl singers,ö Skeeter Davis, who died last year.        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       I wanted to include this as my own private tip of         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       the hat to both her and Wynn Stewart.                     ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌

   ▓████▓▌       Cantrell)                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       My motherÆs family is from Chattanooga, Tennessee         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       and was doing some genealogical research last year        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       when we discovered that the famous ôsong catcherö         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Ethel Park Richardson was my great, great                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       grandfatherÆs sister. Ethel collected songs in the        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Smokey Mountains of Tennessee and published the           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       book ôAmerican Mountain Songsö in 1927. She later         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       moved to New York and produced the radio drama            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       ôHeart-Throbs Of The Hillsö for the NBC network           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       throughout the 1930s. This song from her book is a        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       truly American murder ballad based on real events         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. As part of the          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       ongoing ôfolk process,ö the melody is slightly            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       changed and I left out one out of ten verses in the       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       book.                                                     ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Bees (Laura Cantrell/Jay Sherman-Godfrey)                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       This song pays tribute to an old friend who had ill       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       health at the end of this life and was growing to         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       accept that he wouldnÆt be around forever. He had         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       lived a full life and had great stories to tell,          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       but he was also sadly aware that the people that he       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       ran around with for years were all gone. My friend        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Jay, who produced and contributed songs to my last        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       two albums, helped me finish the song.                    ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌                                                                 ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Old Downtown (Laura Cantrell)                             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       I wrote this meditation after a real walk in my old       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       downtown of Nashville, Tennessee. I was in one of         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       those moments when you try to match the past up           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       with the present to see if it makes sense. I was          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       taking in a lot of local landmarks around the state       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Capitol building, like the tomb of William Polk,          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       the statue of WWI hero Alvin C. York, and the Life        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       & Casualty tower. I was struck by the idea that all       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       the things that happen in a place can shape it and        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       the people who live there. No matter what town            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       youÆre walking in, the monuments show the triumphs        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       and the scars.                                            ▓▌
