Tift Merritt has long been a torchbearer in Americana. To mark the 20th anniversary of her Grammy-nominated album Tambourine, Merritt returns with Time and Patience – a companion piece of intimate re-recordings and new songs from Merritt’s Tambourine era. Several of the recordings strip her beloved classic songs back to their raw essence – recorded at home, just voice and acoustic instruments, 20 years after it first made her a critical darling. Others have never been heard before. Available on clear vinyl with yellow splatter in a gatefold jacket.
