Peter Mulvey And SistaStrings Share First Song From Upcoming “Love Is The Only Thing” as SistaStrings Come To Merriweather Post Pavilion on August 18th

With a galloping guitar and a concrete backbeat on the snare drum, “You and (Everybody Else)”—the first offering from Peter Mulvey & SistaStrings’ upcoming album, Love Is The Only Thing—takes no time getting off to the races. 

"John Sieger and I sat down to bust this one out quickly,” remembers Mulvey. “The song announced itself as lean and loping: very few words, all energy, a two-beat measure.” Easing into the second verse, the cello and violin from SistaStrings’ Monique Ross and Chauntee Ross sneak in, adding another meaningful texture to the sparse but purposeful tune. Throughout, the mood is jovial, reflected in Mulvey’s delivery of the song’s lyrics.

“We were pleased to get both a Tibetan Buddhism reference—‘hungry ghosts’—and a Black Sabbath-style rhyme—where you rhyme a word with...itself!—into the third verse,” says Mulvey, proudly. SistaStrings delivered the song’s crowning theme with post-refrain, descending string line that would be equally at home on a later Led Zeppelin album as it would in America’s bluegrass songbook. “It makes the whole song,” Mulvey decrees. 

Fans can listen to “You and (Everybody Else)” today at this link and pre-order or pre-save Love Is The Only Thing ahead of its August 12th release.
