On her third album on Oh Boy Records and her fifth since the beginning of her career a decade ago, Emily Scott Robinson once again proves 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 about resilience, love, grief and hope with her crystal-clear voice. Robinson's talent is no surprise - she is now an experienced touring artist, both at home and abroad. Her albums "Traveling Mercies" (2019) and "American Siren" (2021) each landed at the top of Rolling Stone's year-end lists "Best Country and Americana Albums" and "10 Best Country Albums" by Stereogum. She has been praised by the Washington Post, Billboard, American Songwriter and No Depression and reached number 19 on NPR's "100 Best Songs of 2021" list with her song "Let 'Em Burn". It was her 2020 single »The Time for Flowers«, an anthem of hope recorded at home amid the global pandemic, that caught the attention of Oh Boy Records, the independent label founded by John Prine in 1981. Robinson jumped at the opportunity to join the free-spirited and popular record label, which continues her hero's legacy. Robinson is convinced that the songs on "Appalachia" are the best she has ever written - she sings about her grandmother suffering from dementia, a saloon full of colorful characters where only cash is accepted, and about her gratitude for life despite all the difficulties. The album features a duet with Grammy winner John Paul White, celebrating the love that comes with scars and age, as well as an anthem for anyone who has ever failed or fallen short of their expectations. "There's something I do with every record I make," she says. "I weave a prayer into it and ask that all these songs find their way to everyone who needs them. I ask these songs to be useful, to help people find and experience joy."
