For Jamie Wilson, country music has been embedded into her blood. The Yancey, Texas native has been a part of her life for quite some time. Though she didn't start playing or writing music until her sophomore year of college at Texas A&M, Wilson has shown a great range of ability both vocally and on paper.
A member of two popular Austin bands- The Gougers and The Trishas, Wilson had never experienced performing solo until early this year, when Wilson released her first solo EP, titled "Dirty Blonde Hair."
“I was in a band almost as soon as I got a guitar. Then before the Gougers were even done, this thing with the Trishas was taking off. I wanted to at least get some of my own music out there. Something that's just me,” Wilson states. The EP combines the best elements of Wilson's work with the Gougers and the Trishas, but just a touch more - according to Wilson - "Creepy. It seems that death seeps into all of my songs in one way or another."
The song featured 0n the fast track this week is called, "The River." This tune is part of the new Dirty Blonde Hair album, and was written by Wilson. It has no chorus, but that's because the words blend well enough to not need one.
Here is the description of "The River" in the words of Jamie Wilson:
"The River", the first song on Dirty Blonde Hair, sets the tone, with baritone guitar, banjo, electric guitar, and squeeze box creating the setting for Wilson's rich and distinctive vocals."
