AMANDA COOK
“Carried Away”
DESCRIPTION:
With a title like, “Carried Away,” for a bluegrass tune—and, specifically, with Amanda Cook‘s history of releasing rip-roaring, barn-burners—you’d think this one was her next up-tempo, banjo-driven jam. Turns out, the new single—her second for 2022—is just that! With sounds that conjure floating away on a mountain stream, or soaring above the Appalachians, Cook’s vocals only get better with time as she’s backed by an all-star cast of pickers. The mando and fiddle solos alone will blow you away.
