Spencer Cullum's Coin Collection (Coloured Vinyl)

With an arm’s length list of credits stretching from the likes of Kesha, Dolly Parton and Deer Tick, to Miranda Lambert and Littlle Big Town, pedal steel savant Spencer Cullum is one of Nashville’s most in-demand session cats. That’s in adding on to making up half of acclaimed, primarily instrumental space-country duo “Steelism.” Clearly he’s had little trouble finding in since moving from his naHve London to Music City by way of Detroit eight years ago, even if it’s mostly meant blending into the background. “I guess I’ve always hidden behind \[the instrument\],” he deadpans. “I’m always the guy who looks like he’s studying for a test in the background.”

Now, with a debut solo album, Spencer Cullum’s Coin CollecHon, paying homage to the ’60s and ‘70s psych-pop, folk and proto prog heroes of his homeland, this Nashville sideman’s stepping out from the shadows into the spotlight. The album is being released September 24th via Full Time Hobby. Along with a supporHng cast of fellow Music City stage and studio aces like guitarist Sean Thompson and multi-instrumentalist Luke Reynolds, as well as singing and writing partners like Caitlin Rose, Andrew Combs, Erin Rae, Annie Williams and James “Skyway Man” Wallace — he’s bringing a bit of Britain to Tennessee.
