Crystal Bowersox Album “Farmer’s Daughter” Set For Release Dec. 14

Newlywed American Idol runner-up Crystal Bowersox has put the finishing touches on her debut album, Farmer’s Daughter, Jive Records announced on Wednesday.

The disc — set for release on Dec. 14 — features eight tracks written solely by Bowersox, as well as a song co-written by Bowersox and her new husband Brian Walker, titled “Mason.” The Ohio natie also co-wrote the track “Lonely,” with David Ryan Harris, a collaborator of John Mayer. Additionally, Crystal will perform “Hold On,” a song written by former Idol judge Kara DioGuardi and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger. That track is slated to be the albums’ first single. The album is produced by David Bendeth, who’s worked with Kaiser Chiefs, Mayday Parade, and Paramore. Farmer’s Daughter even contains a cover of Buffalo Springfield’s 1967 classic “For What It’s Worth.”

“After finishing up the 2010 American Idol Live Tour, Bowersox headed to New Jersey to begin production on her eagerly awaited debut,” the record label said in a news release. “The 12 tracks, 10 of them written or co-written by Bowersox, showcase her strong songwriting skills and her desire to infuse her lyrics with that raw emotion of someone who has lived. One very special song is ‘Mason,’ a song Bowersox co-wrote with her husband Brian Walker, which they performed together at their recent nuptials.”
