Folk-rock musician Jerry David DeCicca has announced his sixth album Cardiac Country. Most of the album, as he explains in its Bandcamp notes, was written a few months before he receieved a scary diagnosis that — despite being in what he thought was the best shape of his life — required him to have open heart surgery to replace a leaky aortic valve. Luckily, he’s doing better now, and ahead of the album’s release, he’s shared its opening track “Long Distance Runner.”
