Hillbilly Goddess video preview

Alecia Nugent - Hillbilly GoddessAlecia Nugent’s next CD, Hillbilly Goddess, isn’t due for release until May 12, but it has already generated something of a buzz in the music world. Early reviews and response from radio have been solidly positive, and both Rounder Records and producer Carl Jackson have high expectations for this project.

I’ve listened to the CD a number of times, enjoying it tremendously, and agree that Hillbilly Goddess – both the song and the album – could be a breakout for Alecia after two previous popular releases on Rounder.

With the street date looming, a video preview has been created, featuring snippets from interviews with both Nugent and Jackson, a live radio show with Dave Higgs, and plenty of samples of music from the CD.
