Homely, toe-tapping, but as ever, wittily droll, Kentucky singer-songwriter Will Oldham returns with a very Nashville-style folk-country number with fiddle and Grammy-winning mandolinist Tim O’Brien, heralding a new album, The Purple Bird on 31 January via Domino Records. Made in Nashville with producer David “Ferg” Ferguson and an ensemble of A-list session musicians, The Purple Bird has a strong, Nashville feeling, primarily written around Ferg’s kitchen table.

Make our furthest horizon the end of the street
That's how we make it our home
Look in the eyes of the people we meet
That's how we make it our home
We thank the Lord before we break bread
That's how we make it our home
We never forget the names of our dead
That's how we make it our home
Batten the hatches when thе cold wind blows
Save some for tomorrow 'cause you nеver can know
And the hard times are coming to push you down low
You're only as good as the people you know
Harvest the honey and string up the beans
That's how we make it our home
Do it by hand and screw the machines
That's how we make it our home
Pull down the fences and pull up a chair
That's how we make it our home
Nobody's perfect and nobody cares
That's how we make it our home
Stare at the sunset and not at the wall
Winter and spring and summer and fall
Answer the door when your friends come to call
There's not that much to it, no real work at all
Let go my ego and embrace my id
That's how we make it our home
Pocket wolves, pickups, and just the right kid
That's how we make it our home
Well we've got the power and it's all off the grid
That's how we make it our home
That's how we make it our home
