WoodSongs: Dale Ann Bradley/ Maiden Radio
DALE ANN BRADLEY is one of Kentucky’s finest voices and commands a list of awards as long as you can imagine. A former Coon Creek Girl and mainstay at Kentucky’s Renfro Valley Barn Dance, she is a 5-Time winner of the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) female vocalist of the year and twice nominated by the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music for Traditional Female Vocalist of the Year. Her most recent album on Pinecastle Records ‘Pocket Full of Key’ was nominated for a Grammy this past year.
MAIDEN RADIO started six years ago between Cheyenne Mize, Julia Purcell, and Joan Shelley based in Louisville, Kentucky. With ‘Wolvering’, their third album, they demonstrate a unity of sound that seems to come from beyond those six years. Pulling from an ever-deepening exploration of traditional Kentucky and Appalachian music, the trio aims at shining a light on some of the more dark and lovely early-American songs that have survived through the years, re-arranged and sung in three part harmony. While showing a clear reverence and love for the great singers of the past, their music is timeless and beautiful and their original compositions are indistinguishable from the tunes people have been listening to for ages and ages.
