Brit Taylor Releases Her New Album Land of the Forgotten

(IVPR) "This album feels like driving home to me," says songwriter and recording artist Brit Taylor of her new album, Land of the Forgotten. And that feeling of home means a lot, musically speaking, when you're from the same Eastern Kentucky Appalachia that bore fellow musicians Loretta Lynn, Keith Whitley, The Judds, and Tyler Childers.

Taylor's songs' scenes and characters are built from colorful memories of back home and delivered by her rich and layered voice, playful and cheeky as much as it can be cutting and demanding of attention. Her latest eleven-song LP is a collection of these tightly written, hook-driven songs that often center on the working class, produced by the one person who knows Taylor's musical strengths through and through: her husband, Adam Chaffins.

Taylor and Chaffins, along with their perpetual collaborator, songwriter Adam Wright, and a few others, weaved together a sonic tapestry that highlights Taylor's singular voice, her love and compassion for where she's from, and a balance between the ups and downs of life. "I think it puts a light-hearted spin on some of the tougher things about life," says Taylor. "Not to make light of difficult times, but to remind us two things can exist at one time, and not to forget to take a look at the bright side too, and to not take it all so seriously."

Released on the newly formed RidgeTone Records, a label in support of Appalachian talent based in Prestonsburg, Kentucky, and distributed through Thirty Tigers, fans can stream or purchase Land of the Forgotten here
