Rock juggernaut Futurebirds' newest release - a 22-track live compilation titled _Thanks Y'all - is a benchmark that not only celebrates 14 years together, it's also a testament to the sheer iron will of a group of musicians hungry for the fruits of its labor. The Athens, Georgia-based group once again teamed up with storied My Morning Jacket guitarist/producer Carl Broemel for the latest chapter of a seamless, bountiful partnership that initially came to fruition with the 2021 EP, Bloomin', and was followed up with the 2022 EP, Bloomin' Too. Recorded over 9 shows in February of 2023, the live compilation finds the "Carlbirds" firing on all cylinders, with the best highlights captured for posterity on _Thanks Y'all. The album delivers the sound and energy of the live concert experience, as though the listener were standing dead center in the raucous crowd. Singer/guitarist Daniel Womack says, "We're long overdue for a live release and feel super lucky to have one of our mentors quarterbacking the project. Carl takes us to another level and I think the stoke translates well in these versions""[info sheet from distr.]
