Luck In the Valley marks Jack Rose’s tenth album, but his first release on Thrill Jockey. Formerly a member of the punk rock band Pelt, Rose prefers to explore folk and traditional country in his solo releases as well as his work with the Black Twig Pickers. Luck In the Valley will complete Rose’s “Ditch Trilogy,” and was inspired by Link Wray’s Mordicai Jones, using Wray’s three-track recording and composition style as a guide.
