Биография
In the five short years since Alecia Nugent’s debut CD, she has gone from being the toast of Hickory Grove, Louisiana to one of the most celebrated bluegrass & country singers across America’s heartland. Her new CD, Hillbilly Goddess, delivers on the promise of 2004’s Alecia Nugent and 2006’s A Little Girl…A Big Four-Lane with a confident collection of sassy barnburners and heart-rending ballads, all delivered with smooth precision, gorgeous tone and unbridled exuberance. Featuring stellar support from producer Carl Jackson, duet partner Bradley Walker, J.D. Crowe, members of Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, Blue Highway, The Dan Tyminski Band and The Infamous Stringdusters, Hillbilly Goddess is major step forward from one of the great new voices in American music: Alecia Nugent.
Hickory Grove isn’t close to anyplace even remotely famous. But a voice as precious as hers simply demanded to be discovered. As Alecia sings in the upbeat “Nugent Family Band,” her upbringing was saturated with the sounds of bluegrass and gospel. Her father’s Southland Bluegrass Band trained her in tradition. By the time she was in her teens, she was the group’s lead singer.
