Jenny Lewis announces new solo album and tour

No rabbits were harmed for the making of this album. Rilo Kiley fans now have a little something to fuel their fire. As a follow-up to the Watson Twins tinged "Rabbit Fur Coat", Jenny Lewis has just announced the details to her second solo album dubbed "Acid Tongue." The album due in September has a few familiar faces featured on it. Do the names Elvis Costello, M. Ward, and Zooey Deschanel sound familiar? How about the Black Crowes' Chris Robinson, Rilo Kiley producer Jason Lader, and singer/songwriter Johnathan Rice? That just about makes the $18 I normally shell out for a cd worth it. Talk about bang for your buck. The track list is as follows:

"Acid Tongue"
01 Black Sand
02 Pretty Bird
03 The Next Messiah
04 Bad Man's World
05 Acid Tongue
06 See Fernando
07 Godspeed
08 Carpetbaggers
09 Trying My Best to Love You
10 Jack Killed Mom
11 Sing a Song for Them

Jenny hits the road opening for another familiar name, Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst this fall. She will always get my vote for prom queen.
