Francesca Brown - Stolen Land And Broken Dreams (2024) Hi-Res

After multiple singles and EP’s, California country artist Francesca Brown’s debut album Stolen Land And Broken Dreams hits the airwaves on September 6th. For the album, Francesca got together with producer Kenneth James Gibson in his Idyllwild studio, Meadows Heavy Recorders - also the name of the label, and hunkered down to bring her new songs to life. The songs are very personal and have a running theme, which is California. Francesca’s beautiful and poignant voice, poetic yet direct lyrics, and her own style of acoustic picking are the backbone of all the tunes. Lots of glistening pedal steel, dirty bar room piano, country-ass Fender Tele, down home fiddle, and throbbing bass and drums cater to the songs with perfection. The end result is an infectious mix of deep and heartfelt classic country, straight up ‘don’t fuck with me’ Honky Tonk, and Laurel Canyon folk.
