**PRE-ORDER** ALEC OUNSWORTH - Mo Beauty - Vinyl LP 2025 Reissue on Smoke Marble Vinyl

"Something of a love letter to New Orleans," Alec Ounsworth's Mo Beauty is finally available again on vinyl redesign featuring gatefold, spot gloss varnish, and marble smokey vinyl. The Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) produced 'Mo Beauty' features Ounsworth's trademarks alongside New Orleans finest musicians (George Porter Jr., Stanton Moore, among others). The songs were written in conjunction with CYHSY material but, with this material, Ounsworth tried a different look. 

The limited deluxe reissue is being released in the wake of the 20th anniversary of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, the classic self-titled debut album, and its celebratory 2025 worldwide tour. A fitting legacy to post-Katrina New Orleans and its rich musical heritage and extraordinary musicianship, as well as further confirmation of Alec Ounsworth as a songwriter with the talent to work across genres and styles, crafting inspired music no matter how adventurous the ground he’s covering. Vibrant and eclectic, it’s a wonderfully rich collection of songs; strings swell, the horns are sassy and playful, and there are moments of haunting, crystalline beauty.
