About Ride into the Sun
Nonesuch Records will release pianist and composer Brad Mehldau’s Ride into the Sun—a songbook record of music by the late singer, songwriter, and guitarist Elliott Smith—on August 29, 2025. Featured musicians include singer/guitarist Daniel Rossen; singer/mandolinist Chris Thile; bassists Felix Moseholm and John Davis (who also engineered and mixed the album); drummer Matt Chamberlain; and a chamber orchestra led by Dan Coleman, who also conducted on Mehldau’s 2010 album Highway Rider.Ride into the Sun's ten Elliott Smith songs are complemented by four Mehldau compositions that he says are “inspired by, and reflect, Smith’s oeuvre.” Also included are interpretations of Big Star’s “Thirteen,” which Smith also covered, and “Sunday” by Nick Drake, who Mehldau says, “I look at in some ways as sort of Smith’s visionary godfather.”
