Tangle with the Ghost set for release Nov. 13, 2020

Chad Elliott’s 24th studio album, Tangle with the Ghost, is a rich collection of Americana roots songs. It was recorded alongside other Iowa artists at Old School Studios in Auburn, IA with producer/artist Todd Partridge.

The record, set for a Nov. 13, 2020 release, is sonically diverse. Each track is like a painting or vignette reckoning with the dark night of the soul. “Sometimes you must do the things that frighten you the most. That’s why I still tangle with the ghost,” Elliott sings on the title track.

While not always autobiographical, each character conveyed seems to be wrestling with their own ghosts of a vivid past. Elliott spent many years immersing in America’s subcultures, roaming its backroads and alleyways and Tangle with the Ghost is result.

Tangle with the Ghost will be released as a digital download only. Find out how to download the album here: https://chadelliott.hearnow.com/tangle-with-the-ghost. (Downloads will not work until Nov. 13, 2020.)
