Della Mae - Headlight [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Della Mae takes a bold step forward with 'Headlight', produced by Dan Knobler. Boldly breaking genre convention, the Grammy Award-nominated band have pushed beyond their bluegrass roots and followed their instincts to create their most sonically adventurous body of work to date. rr

Della Mae - lead vocalist/guitarist Celia Woodsmith, 2-time national champion fiddle player Kimber Ludiker, mandolinist Jenni Lyn Gardner, and upright bassist Zoe Guigueno - have fully embraced the album's potential as a platform for change, delivering a collection of 12 songs at turns fearlessly personal and powerfully resonant. As their most collaborative work yet, the album features an exceptional lineup of guest musicians, often contributing on instruments entirely new to Della Mae's output: keys, drums, electric guitar.rr

Opening on its title track, 'Headlight' sets the tone of the album with a potent message of perseverance in the face of adversity. Channeling a triumphant energy in its soaring vocals and marching drumbeats, which ultimately celebrates the power of that ineffable courage, providing both strength and solace in one simply articulated refrain ('They might not believe you/But I do'). rr

Throughout 'Headlight', Della Mae imbue their songs with the unshakable sense of purpose they've embodied since first getting together. Formed in Boston in 2009, with ambitions of disrupting the male-dominated music scene, the band has proven undeniably ahead of their time in placing women at the forefront. rr

'From the beginning this band has been about reclaiming or changing the conversation for women, especially those whose stories haven't been told,' explains Ludiker. 'Advocating for women's rights is the backbone of this band, and we realised that adding public service work to our touring was an important way we could make a difference.'rr
