‘Kiss Up Time’ from Elizabeth Price is the debut release on Playback Records from this newcomer from Kerrville, Texas.
Normally in the world of broadcasting and radio, record distribution is through agencies, record companies and publicists.
Not so with Elizabeth Price, my copy of her new album arrived through my letterbox from her with a handwritten letter asking would I consider adding it to my ‘playlist’, on my ’American Connection’ show.
There’s an eclectic mix of music on the album with a modern day country sound with songs relating to ‘goodnight kisses’,'giving’ and songs of ‘change’, mixed with sentimental emotions and uplifting movers.
Production and musicianship compliments a great vocal ability from a young lady who is fairly new to the Nashville scene.
Over the years President of Playback Records Jack Gale has produced artists from Kitty Wells and Frankie Lane through to Johnny Cash, Del Reeves and Johnny Paycheck, and in the sixties produced ‘Mr Bassman’ for a sixteen year old rising star called Johnny Cymbal.
A few month ago he heard Elizabeth Price for the first time and was so impressed that along with colleague and fellow producer Jim Pierce they sought her out and recorded her in Nashville, with the resulting ‘Kiss Up Time’ album release.
I also have been so impressed with the release, that I’m playing three tracks on this weekend’s American Connection Show (www.americanconnection.euvue.co.uk) as the Album Of The Week feature.
If you have been watching the recent Britain’s Got Talent TV Show you will have noticed the plethora of great young talent aged from eleven upwards which is not only brilliant but also remarkable.
Elizabeth Price can be added to that class of young talent as she is only twelve, and not only is she the youngest artist ever to record on the Playback Record label but she is also the youngest ‘country’ artist that I have ever played in thirty three years of broadcasting.
It’s an album you should add to your collection now, so that in the future you can relate to being there at the beginning of a great career from an artist who I feel will be with us for many years to come.
It’s Priceless.
