Before he started work on what would become his 16th album, "The Bible", Lambchop's Kurt Wagner found himself at the proverbial crossroads. Nearing the end of Lambchop's third decade, Wagner felt musically isolated.

Many of his old bandmates were either long gone or uninterested in touring anymore. He questioned whether making music even made sense. Wagner was actually considering getting a job at the grocery store down the road. "The Bible" is the sound of Wagner looking backwards and forwards, asking this and all the other big questions.

He was up in the middle of the night during that first year of the plague, watching his new friend from Minneapolis, Andrew Broder, play a Wurlitzer on IG Live. He called Broder up. And then Wagner found himself in Minneapolis, in the sweltering summer of 2021, in a de-commissioned paint factory turned practice space.

He had come up and entrusted himself this piano player, Broder, and Broder’s madman partner, Ryan Olson. This would be the first time Wagner let somebody else - people who weren’t even from Nashville - produce a Lambchop record. The music on "The Bible" is more unpredictable than it's ever been on a Lambchop record. Jazz careening into country, into disco, into funk, and back to country.
