The album, First Generation American, is out now, and it’s a perfect summary of something that’s taken Heifetz down a rough road to learn: the stranger it is to listeners that he plays country music, the more right it feels.

Singer-songwriter Jane Bruce is starting the year on a quietly powerful note: “Song About You,” out today, was written about an ex who kept showing up at her shows and concerts – either unwilling or uninterested in moving on from the relationship, even though she had long ago. The song is, by extension, also written for every man who thought they deserved a love song from her.

Heifetz recorded with an all-star band of legendary musicians including Dennis Crouch (Time Jumpers), Jeff Taylor (Time Jumpers), Jimmy Lester (Los Straitjackets), Jack Lawr​​ence (Raconteurs), and JJ Tourville (Deslondes.) Not long after, the record was mixed by Tokic and mastered by Americana veteran John Baldwin. Listen to the lead single now!
