Appalachia [LP]

Emily Scott Robinson - Appalachia [LP]

On her third album with Oh Boy Records, and her fifth since beginning her career a decade ago, Emily Scott Robinson once again unveils her mastery as a performer and storyteller. With Appalachia, recorded at Dreamland Recording Studios with Grammy-nominated producer Josh Kaufman, Robinson opens herself up to experimentation and sings in her crystal-clear voice about resilience, love, grief and hope.

Robinson's talent is no surprise to the music industry - she's now a veteran touring artist, both at home and abroad, lauded by the Washington Post, Billboard, American Songwriter and No Depression. Robinson believes the songs on Appalachia are the best she's ever written - she sings about her grandmother slipping into dementia, a cash-only saloon full of characters, and gratitude for life, despite its hardships. The album features a duet with Grammy winner John Paul White.

"There's this thing I do with every record I make," she says. "I knit a prayer into it, and I ask for all these songs to find their way to everyone who needs them. I ask these songs to be of service, to help people find and experience joy."
