    Chris Thile's new album, Thanks for Listening, released on CD and digitally last week, is now available on vinyl as well. It's a collection of new studio recordings, produced by Thomas Bartlett, of ten songs originally written as Songs of the Week on A Prairie Home Companion. Thile manned almost all of the stringed instruments on the album and is joined by guest singers Sarah Jarosz, Gaby Moreno, and Aoife O'Donovan. "Thile’s virtuosic mandolin shines," says Relix, "but here, he’s got a greater goal than reminding us that he is peerless on the instrument—with Thanks for Listening, Thile is both extending his sincere gratitude to us for coming along on his ride and laying down tracks toward wherever this might take him."

    Chris Thile spoke with writer Michael Hill about his forthcoming album, Thanks for Listening—new studio recordings of songs originally written as Songs of the Week on A Prairie Home Companion—and how it came to be. "We're in a place where listening is a precious commodity," he says. "That's the theme that I noticed rising up, greater than 'here is what was happening last week' or 'here is the place we were.' It's a celebration of people who haven't switched off, despite being given every reason to do so."
