In 2020, he put out two albums that he recorded at home, <em>Richard<\/em> and the Barry Manilow tribute <em>Could It Be Magic<\/em>. Today, Pernice announces <em>Sunny, I Was Wrong<\/em>, a new solo album that he recorded in an actual studio, with help from some friends. <\/p>\n<p>Last month, Joe Pernice shared a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stereogum.com\/2482050\/joe-pernice-save-me-aimee-mann-cover\/music\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">home-recorded cover<\/a> of the Aimee Mann classic &#8220;Save Me.&#8221; The actual Aimee Mann makes an appearance on the Pernice-produced <em>Sunny, I Was Wrong<\/em>, and the record also has contributions from Teenage Fanclub&#8217;s Norman Blake and from legendary songwriters Rodney Crowell and Jimmy Webb. Musicians like Barenaked Ladies&#8217; Jim Creeggan and the Sadies&#8217; Mike Belitsky join Pernice throughout. <\/p>\n<p>Today, Pernice shares the album&#8217;s lead single &#8220;The Black And The Blue,&#8221; a simple and direct chug that fits his craggy voice nicely. In a press release, Pernice says, &#8220;This is one of those songs that came to me so completely and quickly that it was almost like I was watching someone else write it.&#8221; Check out the song and the <em>Sunny, I Was Wrong<\/em> tracklist below.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Joe Pernice -  The Black and The Blue [Official Lyric Video]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/slLUyFCekNQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>TRACKLIST:<br \/>01 &#8220;Peace In Our Home&#8221;<br \/>02 &#8220;Deep Into The Dawn&#8221; (feat.
