Valerie June wrote "Shakedown" on her own, and it went out with "Astral Plane" as one of the two lead singles from The Order of Time, her fourth full-length album, released in March 2017. It carries a family weight: her father sings on it, and he died in November 2016, before the record came out.
Matt Marinelli produced, recorded and mixed it, and he's part of the story too. June met him at the 2014 Newport Folk Festival, when he was road-managing Norah Jones, and later made him her road manager and accompanist. Jones turns up among the backing singers here, along with June's fiddler Mazz Swift. June and Andy MacLeod play electric guitar, Pete Remm adds electric piano and organ, and Dan Rieser drums.
