Homecoming Records will be releasing Alden Sawyer's new CD, "Drinkin' and Drivin" in March 2009. Backed by John Hoke, Dennis Kenmore, Glynnis Campbell, and Dave Batti, and spiritually advised by Tom DeLisle and Greg Jorgenson, Alden's new release has 17 new cuts full of mid-life angst and tales of fanciful California characters.

He promises that he will not write anymore state concept albums, but we hope he doesn't move on to animals, like that dog of a tune he sung the other night.
