Vincent Neil Emerson

Having dabbled across country, folk, and Americana music with his first three records, Emerson brings all three of those genres together with his latest release. Lyrically, these songs are rooted in his upbringing in East Texas, life on the road, and his deep family ties to Louisianathree landscapes that continue to shape his perspective and inform his writing.I was definitely thinking a lot about my childhood in Texas and the trips to Louisiana to visit my mothers family there. A lot of the music I love comes from those areas, and I think its important to have a sense of pride in where you come from.But sonically, Blue Stars reaches wider. It brings together the hard country sound of his early work, the stripped-down intimacy of his self-titled record, and the bold rock n roll of The Golden Crystal Kingdom. The result is a record that offers something for every listener who has followed his journeywhile also serving as a perfect entry point for those just discovering his music.
