Lainey Wilson: The Reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Who "Felt Like a Complete Outsider Moving to Nashville to Chase My Dreams"
Podcast:The Great Creators with Guy Raz Published On: Tue Sep 26 2023 Description: Lainey Wilson burst onto the country music scene in 2022 with her album Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin’. That year, she won Female Vocalist of the Year and Best New Artist at the CMA’s. But for seven years before that, she struggled to make it in the high-pressure Nashville music scene. And before that, she was a kid from a tiny town in rural Louisiana with a dream of being a country star. She joins Guy to talk about how she handled the hard times, what she’s learned about the art of collaboration during the making of two acclaimed albums, and what defines her unique style, which she calls Bell Bottom Country.Links from the show:Tougher Music VideoThings A Man Oughta Know Music VideoLainey’s French Bulldog Hippie Mae’s Instagram Hillbilly Hippie Official Lyrics VideoLainey’s Female Vocalist (2022) Acceptance SpeechLainey’s New Artist of the Year (2022) Acceptance Speech Tougher (2016)Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin’ (2021) Bell Bottom Country (2022)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
