Hugh’s songs were the catalyst for Rumer’s upcoming 5th album, “Nashville Tears”, which will be released on Cooking Vinyl on April 24th, 2020, the 15 tracks including several of his songs which have never been recorded until now, and she has also re-interpreted the aforementioned Emmy winning write .

Rumer says of the album “I can’t wait for more music lovers to discover Hugh Prestwood‘s magnificent catalogue. I know without a doubt they’ll be as grateful as I am to have found him”.
