April 18 street date. U.S. singer-songwriters Julien Baker and Torres present their debut album, "Send A Prayer My Way". The duo created a record that, like the most enduring country albums, sustains and inspires, reminding both singer and listener that not one of us is ever totally alone in this world, that music is a steady companion. "Send A Prayer My Way" was written and sung in the best of the outlaw tradition - defiant, subversive, working class, and determined to wrestle not only with addiction, regret, and bad decisions, but also with oppressive systems of power. Mercifully, this is only the beginning of the stories Torres and Baker are determined to tell, because these are also songs about radical empathy and second chances, and third chances, and while there's plenty of struggle and regret in here, there's also humour and defiance.
