Smith's catalog, built on fingerpicked guitar, intimate vocal delivery, and a harmonic sophistication that belied its lo-fi origins, translates with surprising grace to Mehldau's lyrical touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNonesuch Records releases pianist and composer Brad Mehldau’s Ride into the Sun—a songbook record of music by the late singer, songwriter, and guitarist Elliott Smith. Featured musicians include singer\/guitarist Daniel Rossen (Grizzly Bear); singer\/mandolinist Chris Thile (Punch Brothers, Nickel Creek); bassists Felix Moseholm (Brad Mehldau Trio) and John Davis; drummer Matt Chamberlain (Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, Randy Newman, etc.); and a chamber orchestra led by Dan Coleman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRide into the Sun’s ten Elliott Smith songs are complemented by four Mehldau compositions that he says are “inspired by, and reflect, Smith’s oeuvre.” Also included are interpretations of Big Star’s “Thirteen,” which Smith also covered, and “Sunday” by Nick Drake, who Mehldau says, “I look at in some ways as sort of Smith’s visionary godfather.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecalling how he first got to know Smith and his music, which has been a regular part of his repertoire for years, Mehldau said that after years living in New York, he moved to Los Angeles “and there was this wonderful scene of singer-songwriters that was congregating at a club called Largo. That included Elliott but it also included artists like Rufus Wainwright, Fiona Apple. And then other musicians who had been around for a while would come down every Friday night to sit in on a gig that was led by Jon Brion. I played behind Elliott on his own tunes with Jon. It felt to me like a kind of renaissance in songwriting that flourished for a number of years.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Better Be Quiet Now (4:03)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Everything Means Nothing to Me (5:20)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Tomorrow Tomorrow (4:03)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Sweet Adeline (3:22)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Sweet Adeline Fantasy (4:45)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Between The Bars (5:02)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. The White Lady Loves You More (4:41)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Ride Into The Sun: Part I (3:20)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Thirteen (4:01)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide C\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands (4:02)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Somebody Cares, Somebody Understands (3:49)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Southern Belle (3:53)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Satellite (3:53)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide D\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Colorbars (5:24)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Sunday (3:34)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Ride Into The Sun: Conclusion (9:38)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 075597896220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nonesuch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.29.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nonesuch (075597896220)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Better Be Quiet Now – 4:03\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Everything Means Nothing to Me – 5:20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Tomorrow Tomorrow – 4:03\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 Sweet Adeline – 3:22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA5 Sweet Adeline Fantasy – 4:45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Between The Bars – 5:02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 The White Lady Loves You More – 4:41\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 Ride Into The Sun: Part I – 3:20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 Thirteen – 4:01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC1 Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands – 4:02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC2 Somebody Cares, Somebody Understands – 3:49\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC3 Southern Belle – 3:53\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC4 Satellite – 3:53\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD1 Colorbars – 5:24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD2 Sunday – 3:34\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD3 Ride Into The Sun: Conclusion – 9:38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFelix Moseholm – Acoustic Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDan Coleman – Conductor (Orchestra Conducted by)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatt Chamberlain – Drums, Percussion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Davis (6) – Electric Bass, Acoustic Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChris Thile – Mandolin, Vocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrad Mehldau – Piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaniel Rossen – Vocals, Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547783450942,"sku":"97634","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633308037438-transparent-v2.png?v=1791433160","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/brad-mehldau-ride-into-the-sun-2-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
