The Hold Steady | Stay Positive

According to Rolling Stone the much anticipated fourth Hold Steady album Stay Positive will be released in July. The band had been posting pictures from the recording session on their webpage but a picture showing the track listing on a whiteboard had been blacked out to hide the song titles. However they weren’t as careful in this photo; from which the rabid fans on the Hold Steady messageboard have figured out the track listing below.

1. Joke About Jamaica
2. Navy Sheets
3. Constructive Summer
4. Cutters
5. Stay Positive
6. Lord, I’m Discouraged
7. ?
8. Ask Her for Some Adderall (possibly)

out of at least 11 tracks

What also can be gleaned from the band’s photos are possible guests musicians (or maybe just people they met

while recording) such as Les Paul, Marky Ramone, Ben Nichols (Lucero) and possibly Patterson Hood of the Drive-By Truckers (far left on the mixer).

The band has also played some of the new songs out and I’ve compiled those that have made it to Youtube after the jump. These should help pass the time till July.
