Episode Details

Big Thief stunned fans in Nashville by dropping their entire triple album ‘Horsepower’ live at the Ryman Auditorium — complete with surprise guests Lucinda Williams, Gillian Welch, and Iris DeMent. Recorded locally in May, the set wasn’t played in order, promising a wild, unpredictable night. While some tracks like ‘Happiness’ and ‘Muscle Memory’ were familiar to longtime listeners, others like ‘Sadness Is a Gift’ debuted live from Adrianne Lenker’s solo work. Cameras captured every moment, hinting at an upcoming concert film, and one attendee heard “spring 2027” for the official release. This follows last year’s acclaimed ‘Double Infinity’ and comes after the band’s emotional parting with bassist Max Oleartchik — a necessary but painful transition they’re still processing.
