Strand of Oaks, a.k.a. Timothy Showalter, is already back again this week with another stirring tune called "JM," which premiered yesterday via NPR. The seven-minute-plus track is a tribute to his songwriting hero Jason Molina, who passed away last year due to organ failure from alcohol consumption. It captures the essence of Molina’s work with Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Co. You’ll be able to find the song on Strand of Oaks’ forthcoming album HEAL, which officially comes out June 24 via Dead Oceans. Showalter is also scheduled to perform live on Friday, September 19 at The Boot & Saddle.
