Info for EVERY KIND OF UH-OH

Music luminary and 6x Grammy-Award winning artist, musician and producer CHARLIE PEACOCK is releasing a new full-length album EVERY KIND OF UH-OH.

With his signature style and lyrical finesse, PEACOCK invites listeners into a realm where musical storytelling reigns supreme. The lead single, “Turtle in a Chinese Food Box,” a love song about PEACOCK’S first date with his wife Andi, is scheduled for release on August 2. It’s a tantalizing preview of the sonic voyage awaiting on the project, highlighting his talent for crafting memorable melodies and evocative narratives.

An eclectic artist whose 50-year career includes GRAMMY Awards, solo albums, chart-topping productions, and everything in between, CHARLIE PEACOCK measures the long, winding road from past to present with his upcoming memoir Roots & Rhythm: A Life In Music (2.4.25). It’s the autobiographical story of an artist-dreamer born at the intersection of rock ‘n’ roll, jazz, and the nascent singer-songwriter movement.

The back half of 2024 was meant to be preparing for the book’s unveiling — you know, podcasts, interviews, marketing meetings. Then it happened — again. Music, that is.

“In less than two weeks, I had written 10 songs — artist songs, the kind only I could write and sing,” shares PEACOCK, whose musical talent is also wedged between the grooves of diverse acts such as, acclaimed folk duo The Civil Wars, Amy Grant, Chris Cornell, Switchfoot, The Lone Bellow, and Brett Dennen, among many others. “I wanted the record to feel classic and dynamic with Nashville-centric, mostly acoustic instrumentation,” adds PEACOCK. “Lyric-wise, I hoped to write in such a way that it felt like some wild combination of literary and poetic icons meets Old Testament prophets meets American plainspeak.”

Across EVERY KIND OF UH-OH, PEACOCK delves deep into his literary folky singer-songwriter and gospel roots to craft an Americana masterpiece. This collection features performances by some of Nashville’s most exceptional musicians and vocalists. The legendary Charlie McCoy, known for his work on Bob Dylan’s Nashville Skyline and Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Boxer,” adds his harmonica magic. Dan Dugmore, the pedal steel maestro behind many of Linda Ronstadt’s classics, including the iconic “Blue Bayou,” also graces the album. Joining them are PEACOCK’S renowned bluegrass comrades Bryan Sutton on guitar and Andy Leftwich on fiddle. Adding a touch of familial talent, his daughter-in-law, singer-songwriter Ruby Amanfu (Brandi Carlile, Alicia Keys, H.E.R.), lends her voice.

From his pioneering contributions to gospel rock and the Americana/Folk movement of the 2000s to his jazz explorations with legendary bassist John Patitucci, PEACOCK is more than a connoisseur of American music; he’s part of its DNA, leaving his unique mark while earning Top-40 pop hits across three consecutive decades. The new album EVERY KIND OF UH-OH is one more chapter in this long story of contributing to the American music canon. This time out, PEACOCK chose to lean into his earliest singer-songwriter influences, with his patented six degrees over from the norm imagination.

Charlie Peacock
born Charles William Ashworth in Yuba City, California is a Nashville-based, 4x Grammy® Award-winning, multi-format jazz and pop recording artist, composer and record producer. Peacock’s production credits range from Chris Cornell and Ladysmith Black Mambazo to AAA and Americana successes such as The Lone Bellow, Holly Williams, The Civil Wars, Ben Rector and Brett Dennen.

Peacock began his iconoclastic career in the 1980s as a singer-songwriter for Exit/A&M and Island Records. In addition to his unique solo efforts, Peacock has played a lead role in creating major chart hits in three separate decades—most notably Amy Grant's "Every Heartbeat" (1991), Switchfoot's "Dare You to Move" (2002), The Civil Wars' Gold debut album Barton Hollow (2011) - earning Grammys for Best Folk Album and Country Duo - and the (2013) #1 Billboard Pop debut, The Civil Wars, featuring the co-written single, “The One That Got Away.” In recent years, Peacock's solo output has included his acclaimed singer-songwriter release, No Man's Land (2012), and four jazz/improvisational releases, including Trout Creek Ranch (2021).

In the 2010s, Peacock dedicated himself to championing the independent music scene. Toward that end he has worked with Brooke Waggoner, The Civil Wars, Ruby Amanfu, k.s. rhoads, Lenachka, and the Ten Out of Tenn project featuring Erin McCarley, Butterfly Boucher, Matthew Perryman Jones, Trent Dabbs, Katie Herzig and more. A long-time advocate for social justice, Peacock has worked directly with International Justice Mission, and the ONE Campaign (a fruitful relationship that began in 2002 when he hosted co-founder Bono and, later, ONE President David Lane at his home, putting them in front of Nashville's artist community).

Jazz collaborators include Eddie Henderson, Ravi Coltrane, Marc Ribot, Jeff Coffin, Felix Pastorius, Don Alias, Joey Baron, Béla Fleck, James Genus, Kirk Whalum, Victor Wooten, Roger Smith, John Patitucci, Eric Harland, Steve Swallow, Matt White, and Kurt Rosenwinkel. Production credits include, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Holly Williams (with Jackson Browne, Jakob Dylan, and Gwyneth Paltrow), The Lone Bellow, Switchfoot, Brett Dennen, Jon Foreman, Kris Allen, Lenachka, Ben Rector, Chris Cornell, and co-wrote and produced “Hush,” the title theme to the AMC drama Turn: Washington’s Spies featuring Joy Williams and The National’s, Matt Berninger.

Music is a family affair for Peacock. His son, Oscar-nominated songwriter-producer, Sam Ashworth, and daughter-in-law, singer-songwriter Ruby Amanfu (co-writers of “Hard Place”, the Grammy® nominated, break-out hit for H.E.R.), often contribute to Peacock’s productions. Peacock’s daughter Molly, and son-in-law, Mark Nicholas (music publisher), are co-founders of the music platform, Noisetrade. ​

Peacock is married to the writer, Andi Ashworth. The couple are co-founders of Art House America with branches in Nashville, St. Paul, and Dallas. They've been together for 50 years and have two grown children and four grandchildren.
