For me this is the best album from the genre so far this year, well other than maybe Isbell and Waxahatchee if you want to count those. Her previous album Trinity Lane was also really solid.
I know most people don’t care for this guy, and rightfully so, but he’s sometimes good for finding new music. The Best Country & Roots Albums of 2020 So Far
Lady Antebellum Change Band Name: “We Are Deeply Sorry” Been just calling them Lady A for awhile anyways.
Wouldn't she probably hold it out til early 2021 at this point anyway to be able tour/play festivals as part of the release cycle? I don't want to be right but I think a lot of artists are going to slow roll release cycles for the next year or so. Not sure a standard Nashville release cycle CAN get any slower but

Nothing I've read suggests she was really diving into writing/recording yet. And she's typically worked pretty collaboratively, so I'm not sure what the pandemic/social distancing would have meant for co-writing/getting in a studio with her band. I suppose she could surprise us all with a totally stripped down acoustic record that she made during quarantine (which would be awesome), but I'd still bet on next spring/summer for a new album. My guy, I'm currently writing a review for a Nashville album whose lead single came out 22 months ago.
For the record, I would love nothing more than a new Kacey Musgraves album this year, but she's earned a year off if she wants it.
