Jamie Lin Wilson Heads Into Historic Arlyn Studios To Record Album #2 - Fans Have An Opportunity To Go Along For The Ride

As regular readers of That Nashville Sound will know, we don't often share crowsdsourcing initiatives via PledgeMusic or Kickstarter very often. That is, until we feel so passionate about an artist and his or her project that it needs to be the exception to the rule. Today is one of those exceptions.

Texas artist Jamie Lin Wilson is following her phenomenal and critically-acclaimed debut solo album with another project in the coming months. Wilson originally broke into the Texas country/folk scene as one of the lead vocalists of the Sidehill Gougers, later known as just the Gougers before the band gradually gave way to not only Wilson’s solo work (the fine EP “Dirty Blonde Hair” was released in 2010) but also her highest-profile-yet musical adventures with The Trishas, an all-female singer-songwriter band that has toured through some of the state and nation’s best venues. Scoring one of the best albums of 2012 with High Wide & Handsome and framing Wilson’s stunning originals in the context of sisterly collaboration and harmony, the Trishas have brought her career to new heights while still leaving room for solo gigs, guest spots on over a dozen albums by now, and song-swaps with like-minded artists all over Texas and beyond. Since then she's been a powerhouse solo performer since, touring with the likes of Jack Ingram, Sunny Sweeney, Courtney Patton, Jason Eady and more.

Says Wilson on the creation of the new project, "Since releasing Holidays & Wedding Rings in 2015, I’ve toured around the world, played venues I never thought I’d get to, had another baby, and written a lot of new songs.  With this album, I’m gathering some very talented friends and heading into the esteemed Arlyn Studios to record a batch of songs that I consider to be among the best I have. I can’t wait to see what they become, and what happens within those walls during those 5 days."

If Nashville has their historic Studio A, Texas certainly has its near-equal in historic Arlyn Studio. Since 1984, Arlyn Studios has been a fixture and recording hub for Austin’s vibrant music community attracting the industry’s most legendary artists including: Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Sublime, Neil Young and Les Paul, to name a few.
