Spain (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spain are an American rock band, led by Josh Haden. Their song "Spiritual" was covered by Johnny Cash on his 1996 Unchained album, and by Soulsavers on their 2007 release It's Not How Far You Fall, It's the Way You Land. A retrospective album, Spirituals: The Best Of Spain, was released in 2003.

In 2007, Haden reformed the band with new members Tom Gladders (guitar), Randy Kirk (keyboards, guitar), and Matt Mahal (drums). To commemorate Spain's first shows in over six years, the band performed The Blue Moods Of Spain live in its entirety at the 2007 Tanned Tin festival in Castellón, Spain. This was followed by several shows in the U.S.
A new studio album, produced by Soulsavers' Rich Machin, is scheduled for release in 2008.
