Lee Brice Previews New CD

Last week, Lee Brice previewed songs from his forthcoming third album for a group of invited guests in Nashville.  They gathered in the historic Columbia Studio A, where Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, and Bob Dylan recorded in the late 60s and 70s.  Lee was interviewed by Nashville journalist Robert K. Oermann about the project.  The centerpiece of the album is the 1940 Gibson guitar in the picture, a wedding gift from Lee’s wife.  The guitar is also on the album cover.  Of course Lee’s gift to his wife is the current hit song, “I Don’t Dance.”

Lee told Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton: “I had this idea for this song, I thought it would be perfect for the first dance at my wedding.  I don’t dance, but I’ll do anything for my wife.  I was a single man for a long time, and didn’t see myself with the family, being happy being settled down, and she changed all that.  Now I don’t believe I waited this long to be in this family life, to find this kind of true joy.  So this is for my wife, but now I think it’s for a lot of folks.”

But there’s a lot more to Lee’s new album than the title song.  In fact, there are a total of 13 songs, ten of which were written by Lee.  Lee also took charge in the studio, producing the entire project.  He told Lon, “For a long time, I heard a lot of things in my head that I didn’t know how to get out.  I was able to completely be me, and it’s the things I’ve wanted to get out of my head.  I got to play the instruments, play the lead guitar, and one song I played ALL the instruments.  I felt I wrote those parts, so I might as well play them.  That way it sounds like me.”

The new album by Lee Brice, “I Don’t Dance,” will be released on September 9.
