Have One On Me

Have One On Me is the third studio album by the American singer-songwriter Joanna Newsom, released on February 23, 2010, via Drag City. It is a triple album produced by Newsom and mixed by Newsom's longtime collaborators Jim O'Rourke and Noah Georgeson, with arrangements by Ryan Francesconi. Have One On Me continues Newsom's use of cryptic, pastoral lyrics, with a further progression of elements of her sound such as the orchestral accompaniment and the arrangements – with the inclusion of diverse instruments like the tambura, the harpsichord and the kaval. The production also flirts with genres such as jazz and blues in some of the tracks, while adding drums and the electric guitar in others. The album is also her first since The Milk-Eyed Mender to include songs played on the piano instead of the harp. Because of health problems, Newsom's voice was damaged during the sessions, consequently affecting the overall recording process and forcing her to change her singing style. The album title and release date were announced on January 12, 2010, through a comic strip. Information surfaced slowly, mostly being kept secret by the press and Drag City.
