Search - Reagan Boggs :: Right Now

After landing her 2006 release, Never Looking Behind, onto Americana Highway s 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 Clifton Branham, Appalachian bad man via his own memoirs, and details a woman s nightmare of strip-miners disrupting the resting dead after a pressured sale of her family s land in The Graves. She pours out her heart through the eyes, ears, and fears of two young children living daily in an abusive home in Ready to Run; and again through the reflections of a middle-aged wife who struggles to find happiness in a comfortable, yet empty marriage in Plastic Flowers. 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.
