Felony Blues

Description

A striking figure with an old soul, and a voice like a force of nature, it's Wyatt's "Punk Rock attitude," professes Heart's Nancy Wilson, one of Wyatt's many high-profile admirers, that sets her apart.

Regardless of genre, Wyatt is all things classic and American; a dynamic performer, who sails naturally between vintage 60s and 70s country/rock 'n' soul anthems and heartfelt country ballads of love and corruption. Country radio station 95.3 The Bear recently named her alongside Sturgill Simpson and Margo Price as "one of the country artists you may not have heard of, but need to hear."

The musicians on the record include top notch Americana and country pickers John Schreffler Jr and Ted Russell Kamp from Shooter Jennings band; Gabe Witcher of the Punch Brothers playing fiddle; fellow Angelino country songwriter, Sam Outlaw, features on the duet "Your Loving Saves Me"; and long time friend and drummer Freddy Bokkenheuser, now the touring drummer for Ryan Adams.

" Felony Blues stands in good company with a wide range of outstanding female artists emerging from the fringes who are making their mark." Lonesomehighway.com

"Jaime Wyatt may have been an outlaw but she's riding away from that past now. With songs as good as this there ain't no borders, no boundaries to how far this girl could go." highwayqueen.com

"FELONY BLUES is an album designed to make an instant impact without a layer of throwaway packaging. It presents Jaime Wyatt as a country artist to place on your 'get to know' list and one you won't regret liaising with. A sentiment launched into cyberspace by Rolling Stone's anointment of her as a "New Country Artist You Need To Know". You may ask what do they know, but in this instance, they are spot on." threechordsandthetruth.co.uk

"Jaime Wyatt's luminous voice and clever lyrics are very much the sound of a star in the making." The Rocking Magpie

The title is a nod to records like David Allan Coe's Penitentiary Blues, and is largely an autobiographical collection of convict love stories, prison songs, and honky-tonk laments.
