Portland folk-rock stalwart Susie Blue got sick of fans asking when her full-length record was finally going to be released. Succumbing to the joint pressures of heartbreak and exasperation, Susie is releasing The World Could End Tonight at long last.
Susie's always harbored a secret desire to make a twangy, country record. The World Could End Tonight started as a batch of songs inspired by heartbreak, a slow shuffle and a bottle of whiskey. Over time, with the help of many collaborators, the album has evolved into a satisfying amalgam of musical styles. It's not quite the country record Susie originally envisioned, but it still has plenty of satisfying twang to go around.
The record speaks to the cooperative, visionary quality of Portland's musical community. The credits read like a who's who of the local scene. Produced by Jason Roark (The Pete Krebs Trio, Sassparilla), mixed by Ezra Holbrook (Little Sue, Lael Alderman, Dr. Theopolis) and graced with the talents of Paul Brainard (Richmond Fontaine), David Langenes (The Stolen Sweets, The Pete Krebs Trio), Skip vonKuske (Vagabond Opera, The Portland Cello Project), Jen Bernard (The Stolen Sweets), Keith Brush (The Stolen Sweets, The Pete Krebs Trio), Todd Bayles (Dirty Martini) and others, The World Could End Tonight is a living testament to the Portland's music community's sense of inspirational camaraderie.
And it's about damn time.
Susie released her record, and can finally sleep, knowing the world could end.
Tonight.
