Victoria Bailey - Jesus, Red Wine & Patsy Cline (CD) - CD

Details: 2020 release. Victoria Bailey has got it figured out; all one needs in life is simply Jesus, Red Wine & Patsy Cline. Grounding her timeless country music palette is her crystalline voice; an inviting warm tone with the occasional flutter that transports you back in time to a classic honky tonk where they're playing the aforementioned Cline, Emmylou Harris, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton on rotation - all of whom she has carried from the dive bar to the main stage. Produced by Jeremy Long, Jesus, Red Wine & Patsy Cline is a whiskey-smooth concoction of crisp guitars, silky fiddle, and radiant pedal steel that expertly glides beneath Bailey's magnetic, California sun-kissed soprano. Bailey's full-length label debut - a nine-song collection featuring eight originals and one cover - paints stunning vignettes spanning from adrenaline-rushing love at first sight and down-and-out heartache, to treasuring country music's indelible roots, and the wavering journey of resilience when chasing one's dreams.
