April 7, 2016 BY Nettwerk

Good Old War has announced a 26-city acoustic tour staring May 9th in Baltimore, MD and wrapping June 26th in Tucson, AZ.  Additionally, they’ll join Nada Surf as support on three dates: Chicago (5/12), Minneapolis (5/13) and Omaha (5/14).  In anticipation, the band will release an acoustic version of “Never Gonna See Me Cry,” from their latest full-length album Broken Into Better Shape, on April 15th.  Relix.com premiered the track today. Listen below. 

Good Old War’s Keith Goodwin tells Relix, “We made acoustic versions of most of our Broken Into Better Shape album so we could show listeners where the songs start before we put all the rest of the instrumentation in.”

Broke Into Better Shape was recorded in Nashville with producer Jason Lehning (Alison Krauss & Union Station, Dolly Parton, Mat Kearney) and mixed by another Grammy winner, engineer Vance Powell (Jack White, Houndmouth).  It’s the first album that the now duo –Goodwin and Dan Schwartz – worked with outside writers on such as the soaring “Fly Away,” which was written in NYC with Emile Haynie (Lady Antebellum, fun.).
