Overview
You’d be hard-pressed to find a country singer with a stronger pedigree than Brit Taylor. Born and raised in Eastern Kentucky right in the middle of a small region that has given us the likes of Loretta Lynn, Keith Whitley, The Judds, and Tyler Childers, Taylor is Appalachian to her bones, and she possesses a deep understanding of the place and its people that well serves her new album, Land of the Forgotten.
“This album feels like driving home to me,” Taylor says. Although she has lived in Nashville for 18 years she says she’s always homesick. One thing she often studies on is the “certain type of resilience” she finds in Appalachian people. “If I didn’t have that in me, I wouldn’t still be chasing this dream. The people and the places are always making their way into my writing.”
With her third studio album Taylor says she’s finally achieved the sound she’s been going for since she first arrived in Music City. Taylor has been singing professionally since she was seven years old, when she became a cast member for the Kentucky Opry as one of their “junior pros”. Around the same time she started taking singing lessons and listening to the country classics her grandparents constantly played.
