Cigarettes & Truckstops, written by Lindi, who also plays acoustic guitar, electric guitar and other instrumentation – including mandolin and percussion – was provided by Colin Linden, with piano by John Whynot, upright bass by Dave Roe and drums by Bryan Owings.

Lindi brought in acclaimed producer and T-Bone Burnett musician Colin Linden (O Brother Where Art Thou, Lucinda Williams, Bruce Cockburn) for this LP which was largely inspired by her recent move to Nashville – Lindi’s spiritual home which brings her closer to the origin of her all-time favourite, Johnny Cash.

Reading Johnny Cash’s biography sparked Lindi’s fascination with the influence of blues on early country and this is something which clearly pervades ‘Cigarettes & Truckstops’; ten tracks of the very finest folk-led Americana, coming from a blues perspective.

Highlights include the mellow, low-slung opener and title track, the eerie ‘Murder of Crows’

Lindi’s reimagining of the murder ballad genre – the candid, slide guitar of ‘Lead Me On’ – with lines like “you yank the chain that leads me on” and the thought provoking ‘Heaven Has No Vacancy’.
