Court Yard Hounds - Amelita (CD)

Facts A new Court Yard Hounds album is on the way. The post-Dixie Chicks group featuring sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire will release AMELITA, their sophomore album, on July 16 via Columbia Records. For AMELITA, the sisters again turned to producer Jim Scott, who was at the helm of their breakout self-titled debut. Much like their debut, Robison takes lead vocals on most of the album's eleven tracks, while Maguire sings lead on "Guy Like You," which she co-wrote with Martin Strayer, the album's guitarist (and Robison's boyfriend). The first single is "Sunshine," co-written by Jonatha Brooke, Alex Dezen and Strayer.
