Leah Blevins - First Time Feeling (Vinyl) { vinyl }

Details: First Time Feeling is an album about leaving. Just as she had to leave Kentucky, she had to leave her beloved Nashville - a city that has nurtured and inspired her over the past ten years - to make this record. At the invitation of co-producer Paul Cauthen, whom she met at a Van Morrison tribute concert in 2016, Blevins booked sessions at Modern Electric in Dallas. In the studio she, Cauthen, and fellow producer Beau Bedford (of the Texas Gentlemen) recorded fast, using mostly first takes to the capture the spontaneity in her vocals, to preserve the intensity and immensity of the emotions in these songs.
