Around these offices there isn't a more eagerly anticipated 2012 album than the new one from Cory Chisel & The Wandering Sons. The Appleton, WI songwriter's '09 album Death Won't Send A Letter we touted as "perhaps the finest album by a newcomer this year...music that touches the soul and raises a few hairs on the back of the neck at the same time." Chisel has said a new album was completed last fall -- and we know that he's already booked a performance on Letterman for June 4. So, a late May release perhaps? Will touring buddy Brendan Benson -- who recorded his new album at the same studio in Nashville -- make an appearance? Stay tuned. One new song that we know will be on the album will be "Never Meant to Love You (But It's Too Late Now)", a track he played with humorous Dylan-esque style at the 2010 Newport Folk Festival.
