There's Something Old, New & Unexpected on Drew & Ellie Holcomb's New Album
Drew & Ellie Holcomb are releasing their brand new record Coming Home: A Collection of Songs this Friday (Jan 14). Coming Home is a nine-track assorted set list of new songs, re-released tracks, and cover tunes. Alongside a batch of familiar songs from their catalog that reflect their life as a couple, the Holcombs also put their own spin on Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again."
One of the highlights of the new record is the way the Holcombs have re-imagined some of their best loved songs. This includes a lovely version of "Hung the Moon" (from 2009's A Million Miles) to 2019's moving single "Electricity" to the unhurried beauty of "You and Me."
Drew writes, "I'm thrilled to announce that @ellieholcomb and I will be releasing an album of our singles called "Coming Home: A Collection of Songs" on January 14th! And the first song, a recently re-recorded version of "Hung the Moon", is out now!"
Upon releasing the new version of that crowd favorite, Ellie explains, "I wrote 'Hung the Moon' after a long season of listening to a lot of Lucinda Williams. It's always been a song that's felt like home to me. Drew was playing these chords around the kitchen one day, and I promptly stole them and wrote a love song about him. It's been an honor to see 'Hung the Moon' be included in so many people's weddings over the years and I LOVE this new take on an older song of ours. I hope y'all enjoy it as much as we enjoyed re-recording it!"

1. Coming Home
2. You And Me
3. Feels Like Home
4. Hey Rivers

Drew and Ellie met as students at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and they married in 2006, a year after Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors began carving out a spot among the independent music landscape. Ellie ventured into solo territory in 2012, making significant inroads in Christian music. Meanwhile, Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors have forged on, with Drew tacking a couple of side projects like a vinyl subscription service, a top-draw music festival, and premium Tennessee whiskey. Next month, Drew & Ellie Holcomb will launch the You & Me Tour in Florida, with dates running coast to coast through March.
