‘The Cost Of Everything And The Value Of Nothing’ is the fifth studio
album from Matt Cox set to be released July 15, 2016 on Sower Records.
The
self-produced album was recorded live on December 19, 2015 at Hidden
Tracks Recording Studio, in Omaha, Nebraska by Jeremy Garrett and
mastered by Doug Van Sloan at Focus Mastering. The performances,
featuring longtime friends Colin Duckworth (pedal steel, guitars,
mandolin), Vern Fergesen (accordion, piano), and Josh Dunwoody (upright
bass), are a nearly untouched portrayal of what the songs would
sound like in a live setting, or living room, with no use of scratch
tracks and very few overdubs. The mood is steeped in old time traditions
of American roots music with tracks “Jumpin' River Blues,” “Little
Lucy,” and “Nighttime Drifter” highlighting Cox’s abilities as a slide
guitarist as well as his signature harmonica style, while stripped-back
works like “Drama Queen” and “The Charcoal Grill Song” offer a more
introspective glimpse at the songwriter’s personal life.
Now a
six-time Omaha Entertainment and Arts Award winner for Best
Country/Americana and Best Blues, the caliber of artist Matt Cox has
become in the studio and on stage is being recognized regionally, and
across the nation. Cox continues to play shows with an ever-changing
lineup of the area’s top talent and a raw energy that reveals the
passion and experience that friends share with each other on stage and
off.
