All Our Exes Live In Texas will be headlining an upcoming US tour, announced today, as their return to North America. This follows the group's winning of the 2017 ARIA—effectively Australia's Grammy—for Best Roots & Blues Album, as well as their appearance on Kesha's megahit 'Praying.' Last summer, at a Sydney recording session with Ryan Lewis and Ben Abraham, All Our Exes Live in Texas—the four Australian vocalist-instrumentalists Elana Stone(accordion), Katie Wighton (guitar), Hannah Crofts (ukulele), and Georgia Mooney (mandolin)—laid down backing vocals on an unreleased Kesha song, as a favor to the producer. Little did anyone know then that this very recording would land on 'Praying' in its original form.

Tood, Weetsie, and Sybil are brides in rural Louisiana in 1943. Each married a Cliffert brother. The men are off to war and a local news story about these young wives keeping the home fires burning intrigues Henry Luce. He decides that they belong on the cover of Life magazine and assigns Kate Miller to the story. She has been covering the war in Europe and, though she views doing a 'women's piece' as a career set-back, she accepts because it will be her first cover story. Kate spends a week with the Cliffert women and her haughty urban attitude gives way to sympathy as she begins to understand them while coming face-to-face with her own powerlessness in a man's world. Filled with charm and fun, The Cover of Life is a deeply affecting story about the struggle for self-worth. 'A picture-perfect story' - New York Times.
