Where I Stand

Release date:
“Where I Stand” is the perfect example of where country music needs to position itself today, a place from where it is able to move confidently forward without losing those who have been in love with the music since way back when. It is woven with enough recognisable sounds that the old school will love it, it has the swagger and rule breaking attitude to please the alternative and outlaw aficionados, it pops with enough mainstream appeal to move beyond the generic confines to find a wider audience – and it drives with an energy that will appeal to the discerning rock set. Imagine Dolly Parton’s rootsy vibes and fellow Canadian Shania Twain’s broader appeal being combined, held together by a gritty southern rock, bar band and you have an idea of just how far this record could go.
