On April 21st, Jason Eady returns with his first album in more than three years. The self-titled release marks his sixth full-length effort and finds the Mississippi-bred singer/guitarist merging his distinct sensibilities into a stripped-down, roots-oriented sound that starkly showcases the gritty elegance of his songwriting.
Watch Eady’s music video for the album’s first single “Why I Left Atlanta” in the clip above.
“This song is about a relationship that ended through no one’s fault, but simply because two people grew in different directions and the aftermath of that,” explains Eady. “Casey Pierce (the director) came up with the idea of showing it from both sides, and I think it ended up capturing exactly what the song is about. The two people in this video are both handling the split in their own way, and the way that they are each handling it shows exactly how far apart they had become.”
