Tift Merritt plays live in the studio

Bob is joined by singer-songwriter Tift Merritt whose fourth studio album 'See You On the Moon' has just been released.

Born in Houston, Texas, Tift Merritt started out playing small clubs and released a 7-song EP in 1999, a compilation of country songs featuring two original songs and five cover versions. Her debut album, 'Bramble Rose', was released to huge critical acclaim and the follow-up, 'Tambourine' was Grammy-nominated for 2004 Country Album of the Year. The following year she received three Americana Music Award nominations for Album of the Year, Artist of the year and Song of the Year for 'Good Hearted Man'.
In 2006 Tift spent several months in Paris where she wrote the songs for her 2008 album 'Another Country'. Her latest album 'See You On The Moon' is released this week.
