From Matt Andersen comes The Big Bottle Of Joy, a blues, rock and folk album on Sonic Records LTD. This is the vinyl edition. This edition was released on February 24, 2023.
Over a dozen songs infused with raw blues-rock, rollicking Americana, thoughtful folk, and ecstatic gospel, Matt Andersen testifies to something we could all do well to remember: the time we have together is special, so let's spend it the right way. The Big Bottle of Joy was a team effort: the title doesn't just refer to the record, but the band that Andersen put together to make it. The songs were written with not just a band in mind, but this exact group of people, and Andersen tailored moods and arrangements and sections to elevate the already substantial talents of the players. "Being good to each other, you know, in taking care of each other - those are the biggest things I want to put out there," Andersen says of The Big Bottle of Joy project.
