CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Alecia Nugent is the stunning debut CD by one of the most powerful new voices in bluegrass. Her unadorned yet passionate style and rare ability to make a song her own place her among the finest bluegrass singers of today. Produced by Grammy® nominated producer Carl Jackson and with musical support from Rebecca Lynn Howard, Rhonda Vincent, Ron McCoury, and Ben and Sonya Isaacs, Alecia Nugent is a bluegrass album that is startling in both its purity and depth of soul. "Alecia Nugent possesses one of the most honest, refreshing, and believable voices I've heard in many years. I truly believe she is destined for female vocalist and album of the year awards." - Eddie Stubbs, WSM Grand Ole Opry Announcer Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsAn outstanding bluegrass debut Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 04/30/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Carl Jackson produced this fine album by talented newcomer Alecia Nugent, who is pretty much the only bluegrass artist I can think of offhand who doesn't play an instrument on her album (!) but just lets her voice do the talking for her. (But hey, when you've got Larry Cordle, Carl Jackson, Ronny McCoury and Ben Isaacs backing you up, then "just" singing seems a whole lot easier! )The album kicks off with a sweet, hot fiddle riff from Aubrey Haynie, establishing some solid truegrass cred, and while Nugent moves between 'grassy numbers and country-ish heartsongs, she does so with a sense of absolute calm and authenticity... This is a for-real, rural country singer, a roots singer on par with Patty Loveless or Lee Ann Womack, and while you can imagine her easily cracking into the Nashville network, it's pretty darn nice hearing her go the traditional route for now. There are a ton of fine, fine performances on here, with songs by Cordle and Jackson, and several well-chosen oldies. One highlight is Cordle's "You Don't Have To Go Home," a gentle gospel tune featuring a gorgeous three-way harmony between Nugent and guest vocalists Sonya Isaacs and Rhonda Vincent, who have both skirted along the boundaries between the bluegrass and commercial country worlds. With a debut like this, Alecia Nugent is definitely a talent to keep an eye on... Highly recommended!" TOPS John Hammett | Seatte, Wa. USA | 04/18/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I,m not particularly a bluegrass fan and never heard of Alecia Nugent until I recently heard her CD playing in a bookstore. Her fabulous voice impressed me, and I went to the music section, put on the headphones, and ended up listing to the entire CD. Wow! I love this CD and Alecia Nugent." As Good As It Gets El Briano | New York City | 07/23/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "There isn't a weak track here, and the voice is powerful, smooth, and soulful. She clearly merits the favorable comparisons to Rhonda Vincent, who appears on the CD. I heard her live at the Grand Ol Opry singing "Paper and Pen" and she sent chills through the audience, receiving an incredible, screaming/stomping ovation. Absolutely electric. So where's the next CD?"
