Rick Cornell at WCOM in Carrboro, NC recently interviewed Becky about our new record, and the interview and accompanying tracks from Homefront were podcasted by Taproot Radio.
 
Taproot Radio says: “Becky Warren of The Great Unknowns talks about why there’s almost always a geographic reference in all of her songs; her experience driving the Lewis and Clark Trail and what it mean to her; the long wait between their first and second CD; writing a song about a band that doesn’t become that famous; the new line up; and plays three tracks from their new release, Homefront.” You can get the podcast on the Taproot Radio website.
 
 
 

Rich Reardin, the producer of In Search of a Song recently interview Becky about “I Wish I Was the Girl I Was,” one of the songs from our new record. In Search of a Song is a public radio program available through Public Radio Exchange (PRX).
 
You can listen to the interview on the PRX website.
 
 
 

Thanks in large part to some really great work from our friend Liz at Notorious Radio, we’re climbing the Freeform American Roots (FAR) charts and the Americana Music Association chart. We hit the FAR chart at #7 for the month of January and we’re climbing our way up the AMA charts too, where we’re now at #75.
 
Thanks so much to all the DJs who are spinning the record and giving us their FAR votes!
 
 
 

Bill Frater has featured several songs from Homefront in his excellent Freight Train Boogie podcast.
 
Bill plays “Lexington”, “Wrong”, and “By the Time You Get to Texas”. Check it out.
 
 
 

We were thrilled to hear that one of the songs from Homefront, “I Wish I Was the Girl I Was” (co-written by Becky and Altay) took the top prize in this year’s Mid-Atlantic Song Contest, sponsored by the Songwriters Association of Washington (SAW) and BMI. Another song from Homefront (“Birmingham”) was named a finalist in the adult contemporary category. We’re delighted and honored to have won!

Rick Cornell, who reviewed our first album for No Depression has posted an interview with Becky on nodepression.com.
 
Rick says of Homefront: ” It carries with it all of the gifts offered by its predecessor, plus a new twist or two. And also like its predecessor, it’s quickly become a go-to travel companion.”
 
 
 

We’ve been working towards this day for about a year: our new record Homefront finally hits virtual shelves today!
