With a strum of her guitar and three songs for the ages, rising country star and crafted storyteller Brit Taylor once again invites listeners into her life and her heart with the July 9 release of her expanded album, Real Me Deluxe. Following last year’s successful release of her debut album Real Me, Taylor follows with her Deluxe album featuring two classic covers and an original song destined to be classic. Both Real Me and Real Me Deluxe were produced by Grammy award-winner Dave Brainard.
Real Me Deluxe, like its parent album, introduces Brit Taylor perfectly, both musically and personally. Not afraid to be influenced by the past she loves and adapts it to the future, the album, with its influences of Bobby Gentry vibes, Loretta Lynn honky-tonk, Waylon and Willie waltzes, Tammy and George duets, western swing, and heart-tugging vocals – tell musical stories that manage to be dramatic, humorous, heartfelt and down-right honest. Each song has a purpose and each song tells her personal story. And each song manages to get stuck in your head even before you finish the first listen.
Real Me was born of hard times. It is Taylor’s reflective musical journey through self-discovery and finding her “real me”. Her idyllic life had imploded. Realized dreams such as marriage, her band, publishing deals, and her dog dying, contributed to real-life disappointments. She had to see what was wrong with her life before she could figure out what would be right. As liberating as Real Me was, she knew her saga wasn’t truly complete. There was one more story to be shared – one that would become the final chapter of that phase of her life.
Taylor is truly authentic, something she knows you can never fake. Real Me Deluxe is Taylor’s real story and real emotions. And, in some way, it becomes everyone’s story. “At Least There’s No Babies” and Real Me Deluxe complete the story.
