Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Crystal Bowersox’s new album now has a release date: March 26.

And pre-orders for her second album are now being taken on iTunes.

Of course, you can also head there to hear snippets of the 12 songs that will be included on her followup to her 2010 album “Farmer’s Daughter.”

The new album is called “All That for This.”

Crystal debuted the first single, “Dead Weight,” on RyanSeacrest.com earlier this month. Another tune from the album, “Stitches,” has been featured on RollingStone.com. That song also features Jakob Dylan.

“I’ve always admired his work with the Wallflowers, and his solo material as well, so to have him sing on a very personal song that was written for my son was the icing on the proverbial sugar-free, life-affirming, validation cake,” Crystal told Rolling Stone.

As I had posted previously, Crystal will be performing in D.C. and Philly next month, and she just added a new show to the Philly stop.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $22 at the door for her Thursday, March 7, show at The Hamilton in D.C. Head here for more information.

The next night, she’ll sing at the Tin Angel in Washington, D.C. Tickets are $15; seating is unreserved except for Serrano diners. An 8 p.m. show was previously planned; Crystal is now planning a 10 p.m. show as well. Head here for more information.
