Joe Henry's 13th studio album 'Invisible Hour', recorded over four days in July 2013 at Henry's personal studio in California, tells a captivating story about resilience and the redemptive power of love. As a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer, Henry has released numerous successful albums over the years, characterized by their rich fusion of folk, jazz, and blues influences. This record features several of his closest musical companions, including The Milk Carton Kids as well as Lisa Hannigan, who co-wrote the title track along with Henry and best-selling novelist Colum McCann. 'As much as anything, perhaps these are all songs about marriage - marriage as a verb, not a noun: not a thing to be possessed but a habit of one's being.', Henry himself describes the narrative of the album. This 2024 reissue includes three special bonus tracks: Two alternate demo versions of 'Slide' and 'The Glorious Dead', originally released on Henry's 2017 record 'Thrum', as well as the previously unheard demo 'News From the Great Wide World'.
