Singer/songwriter Sierra Ferrell has announced her next album, Trail of Flowers, which is set to arrive on March 22 via Rounder Records. The upcoming LP follows up her acclaimed 2021 debut album, Long Time Coming. Ferrell draws from a kaleidoscope of influences on Trail of Flowers. Shaped by a life of uncertainty, her writing is inspired by years spent busking around the country in boxcars, truck stops, alleyways and the streets of various cities. Ferrell’s raw storytelling is set to a rich blend of country, bluegrass and jazz.
“…I wanted to create something that makes people feel nostalgic for the past, but excited about the future of music. I’m just trying to put words and melodies together and build it into something people can pour their feelings into, all their happiness and sorrows, so that it changes their reality a little bit and gives them some comfort,” says Ferrell of her upcoming album. “To me music is like medicine. Whenever I write a song and it feels healing to me, I know it can heal other people too.”
To accompany the album announcement, Ferrell unveiled a new single titled “Dollar Bill Bar.” Tender and lusty, the country artist recounts a carefree dive bar fling. “Guys like you are a dime a dozen, you should count your lucky stars / Honey, if I had a dollar for every single cowboy’s heart / Well, honey, I could break a hundred at the Dollar Bill Bar,” sings Ferrell on the chorus.
