Richard Thomspon will release a brand-new album, Still, on June 23 via Fantasy Records. Take a listen to "Beatnik Walking," the first track to emerge from the forthcoming LP, below (via Aquarium Drunkard):

Still will join the English singer-songwriter’s more than 40-year repertoire. For the latest addition to his catalog, Thompson recruited Jeff Tweedy as producer.

“Jeff is musically very sympathetic,” Thompson says of his experience working with the Wilco leader in a press release. “Although some of his contributions are probably rather subtle to the listener’s ear, they were really interesting and his suggestions were always very pertinent.”

“Richard’s been one of my favorite guitar players for a very long time,” Tweedy in turn says of Thompson. “When I think about it, he’s also one of my favorite songwriters and favorite singers. He’s the Ultimate Triple Threat. Getting to work closely with him on this record was truly a rewarding experience, not to mention a great thrill. And he keeps alive my streak of working exclusively with artists who make me look good as a producer.”

Still is now available for pre-order digitally on iTunes, deluxe CD and vinyl. Take a look at the cover art and track list below.
