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!

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!
 
You can order a CD ($15) or a digital download ($10) directly from us by visiting our store. You can also download the album digitally from most major online retailers.
