Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song, released on Blue Note on October 8, 2013, had a tough act to follow: its predecessor, Mission Bell, had gone all the way to No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Amos Lee's answer was to bring the road home. It was the first of his albums to feature his touring band, and the playing has that easy, telepathic feel you only get from people who have shared a lot of stages. Jay Joyce produced, and there's star power in the margins: Alison Krauss, Patty Griffin and Jeff Coffin of the Dave Matthews Band all drop in.
"The Man Who Wants You" was the single, and "Chill in the Air" also found its way onto the countdowns. Its first week brought 18,000 sales, a No. 16 debut on the Billboard 200 and a No. 7 placing on the Top Rock Albums list, and by July 2016 its US total stood at 75,000. Spirit came next.
