Free Music Review: Another prairie songbird!
Hit: 5 Stars
Well, good gracious, where would Country be without the Sooner state? Toby, Blake, Garth, Vince, Reba and countless other artists call it home, so Nashville owes a lot of it's success to the open prairies and oil rigs of Oklahoma. Kat is further proof.
She's only 22, but she's been forging her way to Music City since she first sang at a 4-H talent show at the tender age of nine. Since that day, she has created a huge buzz all around Oklahoma, playing wedding and party gigs and raking in the hardware. In 1998, at just fifteen, she was named OK Opry and OK CMA Female Vocalist of the Year. She would later become the youngest artist and first female in more than 20 years to become the OK Opry's Entertainer of the Year. As if that weren't enough, Reba, one of Kat's biggest heroes, invited her to play at Reba's show with the Tulsa Philharmonic, and when Kat played at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in OKC, Vince Gill joined her onstage and played guitar!
Not bad for a Roughneck's daughter from Bray, a little town in the middle of oil country, too small for even one traffic light.
At sixteen, as an ostracised high school softball player, she put pen to paper and wrote her first song, which quickly landed her a publishing contract with Warner/Chappell Music, the final part of the plan to take on Nashville. In a decidedly gutsy move, she got her own apartment and moved there permanently, while her parents returned to Bray. She was only seventeen, but that didn't stop her. She spent most of her time either at her apartment or at Warner/Chappell, determined to hone her craft and stay under the radar until she was ready to step into the spotlight. During this time, she had writing sessions with some of Music City's top writers, including John Rich, Vicky McGehee, and Stephony Smith, who wrote "Big Star".
Kat probably wouldn't have stayed under the radar for very long, even if she decided to be simply a songwriter and not an artist. A head turning, petite young woman with big brown eyes, long wavy blonde hair and a bright smile will grab anyone's attention, but add to that a voice as big and beautiful as the Oklahoma sky and the writing cred to back it up, and you get yourself a pile of recording contracts to sift through. Once Kat saw the one from Tony Brown, she signed immediately, and this record is the result.
Go ahead and give her a spin. You'll be rejoicing that she ain't "Normal".
