JAELEE ROBERTS
“Looking For Yourself”
DESCRIPTION:
Reigning IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year Jaelee Roberts dusts off a late 80s gem for her latest single. Offering the signature bluegrass marriage of a troubled lyric with the onward rush of banjo, mandolin, and fiddle, “Looking For Yourself” — the title track to a 1988 Lonesome River Band album that marked Dan Tyminski’s first appearance on the national stage — is a revealing choice for a generational talent.
