Jim Lauderdale<\/strong> would be a fine candidate to pick up the mantle once proudly worn by Glen Campbell<\/a><\/strong>. He\u2019s a skilled singer, songwriter, arranger, producer and musician. In fact \u2014 as his regular gig as emcee for Nashville\u2019s annual Americana Music Association Awards<\/a> show demonstrates \u2014 he\u2019s a highly engaging all-around entertainer, a true natural in front of an audience.<\/p>\n

Consistent with Lauderdale\u2019s wide musical vision, he recently recorded an album\u2019s worth of material with Nick Lowe<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s band. But, for now, that project remains in the can. \u201cI delayed the release of it, since I decided to write and record what became Soul Searching<\/em>,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Soul Searching<\/em>, a double album, is an exemplar of Lauderdale\u2019s genre-spanning muse. Recorded in Memphis and Nashville, it explores the man\u2019s diverse musical interests. \u201cI think growing up in the Carolinas, radio was much more diverse,\u201d says the Troutman native. \u201cThere was such a mixture of soul, rock, blues, country and bluegrass that it gave me a wide variety of things to listen to and adapt to. And that gave me an appreciation for all those styles.\u201d Contrary to rumors, Lauderdale hasn\u2019t relocated to Western North Carolina \u2014 he still calls Nashville home \u2014 but he\u2019s a frequent visitor to the region.<\/p>\n

While Lauderdale\u2019s Saturday, Oct. 10, show at The Altamont Theatre in Asheville NC will be a solo set (\u201cI\u2019ll do songs from the new album and also from [2014\u2019s] I\u2019m A Song<\/em>,\u201d he says), he\u2019s already planning his next visit to Asheville \u2014 hopefully with brothers Luther and Cody Dickinson<\/strong> and other musicians who contributed to Soul Searching.<\/em><\/p>\n
