Jakob Dylan has two women — Neko Case and Kelly Hogan — singing backup vocals all throughout his new sophomore solo album, Women + Country. They’re also joining him on tour.
So it only makes sense that two-thirds of the Dixie Chicks — sisters Martie Maguire and Emily Robison — tapped Dylan to sing on a song, See You In The Spring, on their new side project Courtyard Hounds, whose self-titled debut comes out May 4.
“I didn’t know them. I certainly know their work, and I was asked if I was in town and had time to do that, and I’m glad I did,” Dylan told QMI Agency.
“I was intrigued about what they might do because I think there’s something really special about family that sings together. There’s a natural blend and of all the things we can shove through a computer and make sound better, they still haven’t figured out how to fake that so those girls have the last remaining thing that can’t be manufactured, which is family singing.”
