On-U Sound are releasing'The United States Of The Broken Hearted' the new album from longtime friend and associate of the label, Jeb Loy Nichols. Produced by Adrian Sherwood, with careful arrangements framing twelve beautiful, acoustic-based songs. The album features contributions from the likes of Martin Duffy (Primal Scream/Felt) and Ivan ?Celloman? Hussey, fresh from his work on the massively acclaimed pair of Horace Andy albums, Midnight Rocker and Midnight Scorchers, both of which featured songwriting contributions from Jeb Loy.

Jeb Loy says: "The United States Of The Broken Hearted has been forty years in the making. I?ve known Adrian, and considered him one of my closest friends, for that long. A couple years ago, on a visit to Adrian, I mentioned Gram Parsons?s concept of ?American Cosmic Music?, the melting mix of musical genres that constitutes a uniquely American
sound. We talked about recording a record that incorporated all the influences I?d gathered, from Bluegrass to Jazz to Reggae to Soul. 'The United States Of The Broken Hearted' is that record".

"Stands alongside Willie Nelson and Tony Joe White" CHARLIE GILLETT
"A songbook of ideas - that's Jeb!" GILLES PETERSON
"Jeb Loy Nichols has ploughed his own unmistakeable furrow between art, music and the ups and downs of life. Consumately brilliant at every task he undertakes, he?s a light house, keeping the listener off the rocks and directing them to better place" MAX REINHARDT (BBC Late Junction)
