Supergroup the Baseball Project — comprising former R.E.M. members Peter Buck and Mike Mills, Steve Wynn (the Dream Syndicate), Scott McCaughey (the Minus 5 and Young Fresh Fellows), and Linda Pitmon (Filthy Friends, Alejandro Escovedo) — have announced their fourth studio album, Grand Salami Time!. Due out June 30 via Omnivore Recordings, Grand Salami Time! follows 2014’s 3rd and features a jangly, country-tinged lead single, “Journeyman.”
The band’s first release in nine years, Grand Salami Time! was produced by R.E.M. favorite Mitch Easter. (A press release also notes that this will be Easter’s final album.) It was also recorded at Easter’s Fidelitorium Studios in Kernersville, North Carolina, with the entire band performing live together in the same room. There’s also guest guitar work by Easter, plus as appearances by Stephen McCarthy (The Long Ryders) and Steve Berlin (Los Lobos).
“I was in a hotel room just outside of Buffalo when I got an email from Peter with an instrumental version of this song,” says Wynn, who wrote the song with Buck. “The words came immediately, not surprising since a veteran musician stringing together a series of one-night stands has more than a little in common with a left-handed relief specialist who plays for a dozen teams in a workmanlike career. Extra points for anyone who picked up on the Walter White quote.”
