Katie Henry - Get Goin' (2024) [Hi-Res]

Katie Henry is part of a new generation of talented and passionate young artists currently reshaping the blues landscape. The New Jersey-born singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist broke out with On My Way, the critically acclaimed release that earned her a spot on Blues Rock Review's list of the Top 20 Albums of 2022. Henry's exciting new project Get Goin' shows off a whole lot much more of what this intelligent and charismatic blues singer has to offer. It drops her square into an unfamiliar musical setting and sees her rise to the occasion. Backed by the crack band of celebrated bluesrocker Bernard Allison (who produced the album and contributed a pair of songs), Henry raises her game and delivers her finest performances to date. "Working with Bernard Allison and his band was a blessing," beams Henry as she recalls the chemistry she felt at the recording sessions in the fall of 2023. Though she's surrounded by experienced players on Get Goin', her growing abilities as a singer, guitarist and keyboard player, not to mention her adept songwriting and magnetic personality, are the heart and soul of the album. Get Goin' is, as she points out, the next step on that journey. Now that it's done, it's time to take the album on the road. She'll do so as part of the upcoming Ruf Records 30th Anniversary tour, together with her producer and friend Bernard Allison.
