Musical maverick Johnny Dowd posted an MP3 of Is Heaven Real? on his website. It is a track from his forthcoming new album Is Heaven Real? How Would I Know: "His special blend of trashcan Americana is wrapped in a cloak of bluesy, jazzy and soulful music, fulfilling a lifelong dream of his: get a honky-tonk version of the Stax/Volt records vibe going".
Is Heaven Real? How Would I Know will be available on vinyl via Brightspark Records. The cover art was created by Jon Langford. Release date: October 1.
Live dates:- 09/24 Ithaca, NY @ Porchfest Ithaca
- 10/26 Nashville, TN @ The Underdog
- 10/27 Water Valley, MS @ Voyager's Rest
