Pegi Young's Forthcoming Album To Premiere On MSN 6/15; Available 6/29 In Stores And Online

Los Angeles, CA (Top40 Charts/ Vapor Records) - PEGI YOUNG will debut her second album June 15 on MSN.com, two weeks before Foul Deeds is available from Vapor Records in stores and online. Meanwhile, Pegi will preview the songs while opening up for Bert Jansch on the west coast from June 10-20 and perform at Amoeba Records in San Francisco on June 22.

Foul Deeds is Pegi's soulful follow up to her acclaimed eponymous 2007 debut, of which CD Universe called "an understated gem... a set of songs that walk a beautifully subtle line between innocence and experience." The new disc features original cuts penned by Pegi as well as tracks written by Lucinda Williams and Will Jennings, among others. From the rollicking opening notes of "Pleasing to Me," straight into heartbreak territory with "Broken Vows," Foul Deeds delivers a stellar slice of life from one who has lived the tales contained within.

"The CD is full of dark themes... divorce, debauchery, disillusionment and despair. So the title 'Foul Deeds' summed it up," laughed Pegi.

Musicians on the tour include Anthony Crawford on guitars and harmony vocals, Ben Keith on pedal steel, dobro and Hammond B3, Rick Rosas on bass, Phil Jones on drums with Spooner Oldham playing keyboards. These same musicians are on the new album as well, with Spooner playing Wurlitzer on "Starting Over," a country-tinged romping lament written by Young and Crawford. Also adding to the overall texture on the aforementioned cut, as well as on Pegi's haunting take on Lucinda Williams' "Side of the Road" and Devendra Banhart's "Body Breaks," are Karl Himmel on drums and husband Neil Young on guitar and harmonica ("Starting Over").
