Brit Taylor Kentucky Blue (CD)

(Cut A Shine Records) 10 tracks, digisleeve.

Brit Taylor's highly anticipated sophomore album, "Kentucky Blue," is a trip down the famous country music highway - Route 23 - back to her Appalachian roots.

Grammy winner Sturgill Simpson and renowned recording engineer and producer David Ferguson caught wind of the Kentucky gem after her debut album, "Real Me," received lavish praise from Rolling Stone, American Songwriter and NPR radio's World Café. The two legends didn't hesitate to help write the next musical chapter of Brit's life story. The album will be released in collaboration with Thirty Tigers on Brit's own label, Cut A Shine Records. The courage to find her "true self" has set Brit free.

"Kentucky Blue" is a musical celebration of her healing and rebirth. It exudes confidence with a touch of attitude that replaces the melancholy, reflective sound of Real Me. It's a return to her East Kentucky influences, where the weeping of fiddle, the moaning of steel guitar, twangy banjo and atmospheric strings float like a journey through space and time. Brit continues to write and sing unabashedly about what she lives and what she knows and sees. It's real. She is who she is.
