You better not get caught rattling off the names of insurgent country artists from the great state of Kentucky and omit Brit Taylor. She might be based in Nashville now, but Kentucky bleeds into everything.
“One of the benefits of having my husband produce this record is that he knows my voice. He hears me sing on tour, on stage, in the car, the studio, the shower, the kitchen, in writing rooms,” Taylor says. “All he encouraged me to do is what I do when no one’s telling me what to do. This record is definitely the most honest vocal approach I’ve taken on any of my records.”Other songwriter contributors include Jeremy Bussey, Clint Daniels, Jon Decious, and Pat McLaughlin. Instrumentalists include the legendary Stuart Duncan (fiddle, mandolin, banjo), Justin Schipper (dobro, steel), Jedd Hughes (electric guitar), Chris Powell (drums, percussion), and Adam Chaffins on bass (bowed, electric, and upright), high strung acoustic guitar, and background vocals.She might have some talented folks helping her. But Brit insists Land of the Forgotten is all her. “I think all female singers are different from one another at first but then we’re told to conform and fit into this neat little perfect box if we want to be successful. Sadly, most of us do just that,” she says. “At this point in my life I am so over it and refuse to water myself down to fit any sort of narrative. I’m no longer sugar-coating my life experiences to make a softer, more commercial lyric. I think there’s so many women out there who need fearlessly honest songs again.”“Fearlessly honest” is what you can expect from Land of the Forgotten, which is now available for pre-save/pre-order.TRACK LIST: 1.

Kentucky Blue was great. Really looking forward to this album. And she puts on a GREAT show! See her if you can!!
I’ve been spinning Warning You Whiskey all day and really liked the first single. Brit sounds at the top of her game, and Adam Chaffins did a great job producing. Can’t wait for the album!
Been a fan of Brit since her first album, and she just continues to get better and better. If the new single Warning You Whiskey is any indication, the new album is going to be great. Looking forward to this.
