Traveling Companion was recorded this year at Brooklyn’s Mason Jar Music studio with guitarist Eric Heywood (The Jayhawks, Son Volt, Alejandro Escovedo).

After The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and hometown newspaper The Raleigh News & Observer heralded Traveling Alone as her best album yet, it would have been easy for Tift Merritt to sit back and enjoy the praise. One year after its initial release, the exquisite expanded version comes packaged with an illustrated hardbound lyric book.

For Traveling Alone, Tift Merritt's Yep Roc Records label debut, Merritt put together her dream cast to make a record that was real, raw and live off the floor. Recorded in Brooklyn in 8 days, this album was produced by Tucker Martine (The Decemberists, My Morning Jacket), features a guest appearance by Andrew Bird and a band that includes Marc Ribot (Tom Waits), Eric Heywood (Pretenders, Son Volt), John Convertino (Calexico) and longtime collaborator Jay Brown. These songs were written and traveled by Tift Merritt.

Album · 2012 · 12 Songs. There’s an astonishing maturity in the arrangements of Tift Merritt’s fifth record-deep and lush roots rock and folk with more than a touch of country. The title track opens gracefully with a gentle crescendo building throughout, from sparse acoustic guitar to shuffling drums and fiddle. Sweet Spot rolls along with sweeping pedal steel and just the right amount of a sinewy guitar solo. Spring sounds mysterious and haunted, like driving down a dark highway, and the rousing finale Marks signs off on an uplifting note. Traveling Alone (Bonus Track Version) Tift Merritt.

Album Traveling Alone. Traveling Alone Lyrics. This morning, if it all was gone Funny thing, it wouldn’t phase me none Might feel like I just got home See, I always had a taste for traveling alone. I only get this one time round Better speak up straight, better speak up proud Good Lord, if he’s not at home Well, I always had a taste for traveling alone. Oh If I had a son I would make him laugh, I would teach him something I’d say, Son, you gotta hold your own And it’s good to have a taste for traveling alone
