MP3 Reagan Boggs - Right Now

The kind of rich, sweet voice that you can't get enough of. She comes from a place that is steeped in country music tradition and now she's carrying it on. Like Patty Loveless or Alison Krauss, she's a country singer who sounds like one.

Details:
After landing her 2006 release, Never Looking Behind, onto Americana Highwayâs top 30 albums of the year list, Reagan Boggs delivers Right Now. The songwriter hails from a coal mining community in Southwest Virginia. With roots still firmly planted in those hills, she tells the story of âClifton Branham,â Appalachian bad man via his own memoirs, and details a womanâs nightmare of strip-miners disrupting the resting dead after a pressured sale of her familyâs land in âThe Graves.â She pours out her heart through the eyes, ears, and fears of two young children living daily in an abusive home in âReady to Run;â and again through the reflections of a middle-aged wife who struggles to find happiness in a comfortable, yet empty marriage in âPlastic Flowers.â Right Now is a collection of songs dealing with the light and darkness of everyday reality, composed in descriptive detail, and sung with the depth and emotion that is Reagan Boggs.

"Reagan Boggs is a fantastic songwriter, and powerful singer. 'The Graves' (track 9) is brilliant, edgy Americana and 'Mixed Signals' (track 10) sounds like the Ronstadt repertoire from 1973. This disc may be your most pleasant discovery of the year!"
