Alhough the album won’t be out until July 9, the venerable New Orleans institution has offered up a glimpse of the release for fans to preview. They are the first new songs to be recorded by the “Hall” in decades.
That’s It! was produced by My Morning Jacket’s Jim James and PHJB’s Ben Jaffe and recorded at The Preservation Hall in the historic French Quarter of New Orleans.
Band members Ben Jaffe, Charlie Gabriel, Rickie Monie, and Clint Maedgen wrote for the album and collaborated with Paul Williams, Dan Wilson, and Chris Stapleton on several songs.
Vinyl collectors note: the LP version of That’s It! will be pressed on 180 gram vinyl and includes a full size poster.
The Preservation Hall Jazz Band will also be appearing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon for two consecutive nights this July, first as the featured performers on July 8 with select band members sitting in with The Roots for the entirety of the show on July 9.
