Dale Ann Bradly quickly captured the hearts of the Bluegrass community following the release of her critically-acclaimed debut album East Kentucky Morning - released in 1997. The state has also taken notice as Bradley was just honored with an official Acclamation issued from the Governor’s Office, recognizing her devotion to music and representation of the state of Kentucky on a national level. Aside from winning several awards, the singer/songwriter has been nominated for multiple Grammys, topped countless charts and more.

Kentucky For Me is a true full-circle moment. With 11 new recordings, they each pay tribute to the Middlesboro, Kentucky native’s home. It also reflects on the debut project, which served as the catalyst for Dale Ann’s incredible longevity. Included on the project are previous singles like the IBMA nominated “One By One” featuring Danny Paisley, “The Sun Is Going To Shine” with JP Pennington (of Exile) and “Love Train” with Rebecca Lynn Howard. The latest single “Kentucky Gold” featuring Sam Bush made its debut earlier this week on The Bluegrass Situation with an exclusive world premiere. Another highlight is the must-hear Gospel tune “God Already Has” penned by David Stewart and Brink Brinkman.

So far, critics are all raving about the new album. The Hollywood Digest said, “Bradley unveils a brilliant selection of bluegrass, Americana, and rarefied folk charmers in Kentucky for Me that doesn’t rely on a listener’s knowledge of the material in winning us over, and for instrument-dominant LPs, that’s not common in the least.” While debuting “I’m Just An Old Chunk of Coal” featuring John Conlee, Vents Magazine said, “The collection is sure to make waves and continue building upon the legacy that Bradley has garnered and continues to capitalize upon since releasing her debut solo album East Kentucky Morning.”

Dale Ann is also back on the road touring, where fans will get the chance to catch her perform new songs from Kentucky For Me for the first time in-person. In addition to playing this weekend in Vermont at the Jenny Brook Family Bluegrass Festival, she’s also returning to the historic Station Inn on July 28, along with many other dates coming up.

The wait is finally over, as Dale Ann Bradley releases her highly-anticipated album, Things She Couldn’t Get Over. The collection includes 10 new recordings, all highlighting the singer’s instantly recognizable voice. Recently dubbed the “Bluegrass Matriarch” by American Songwriter, Bradley is sticking true to her classic sound, while offering a fresh new perspective on the project, which serves a true full-circle moment in her career.

Critics are already raving about the new record, with a recent feature in Authority Magazine published on Medium.com saying, “Dale Ann took her creativity to new heights in 2021 with the release of her groundbreaking Things She Couldn’t Get Over album, filled with vocal prowess.” Referring to Bradley’s traditional voice influenced by her early Kentucky roots, NPR’s Morning Edition said earlier this year that “Aspects of Bradley's upbringing, like the fact that she didn't have running water until her final year of high school, seem to hearken back to an earlier time.”

Leading up to the album launch saw the 5-time IBMA “Female Vocalist of the Year” winner unveiling the upbeat album cut “Yellow Creek” on The Bluegrass Situation. The song may sound familiar to some music enthusiasts, as it was previously made famous by Country legend John Anderson. In a new in-depth feature on Sounds Like Nashville, Bradley opened up about the whole record while also letting fans hear the ballad “In the End” for the first time. The publication went on to say that “the songs on Dale Ann Bradley’s finely crafted new album, Things She Couldn’t Get Over, explore some of humanity’s most heartbreaking challenges yet also celebrates the strength and resiliency of the human spirit.”

The project features the No. 1 lead single, “Falling Down” which recently hit the top spot on Roots Music Report and continues to chart high on other radio surveys. Another highlight is the Dale Ann penned title-track which premiered on American Songwriter, who says “Warm vocals, set by searing instrumentation, paint a poignant picture of a nation divided and those who fall by the wayside in its wake.” The song “Things She Couldn’t Get Over” was also recently selected as one of The Alternate Root’s Top Ten Songs of the Week.

The album also features special guests Michael Cleveland, Jim Hurst, Ronnie Bowman, Aaron Bibelhauser and Ashby Frank, plus Dale Ann’s touring band Moon Runner (Matt Leadbetter, Kim Fox, Ethan Burkhardt, and Mike Sumner).
