Steve Gunn announces first album for Matador & tour, shares "Conditions Wild"

Steve Gunn‘s first album for Matador has finally been announced. It’s called Eyes On The Lines and it’s due out June 3 via the label (pre-order). His band for the record is Nathan Bowles (drums, banjo, organ), Hans Chew (wurlitzer), James Elkington (guitar, lap steel, dobro), Mary Lattimore (harp), Jason Meagher (bass, guitar, flute), Paul Sukeena (guitar), Justin Tripp (bass, keyboards), and John Truscinski (drums).

The album’s first single is the very nice sounding folk rocker “Conditions Wild,” which has a video directed by Brandon Herman. Check that out below. Artwork and tracklist below too.

Steve will be touring this year too, with Bowles (drums), Elkington (guitar, lap steel), and Meagher (bass) as his live band.
