Sherwood. Sure good (re-send)

Re-sent for improved accuracy

Katie Petersen gives us what looks to be a very nice tease from her new solo album.

Sherwood is, I am quite certain, an original number for that album, which is at present idling at the on-ramp.

With Sherwood, this very talented young singer leans heavily into the Pop area, while still retaining a strong flavor of Traditional Country -- which makes sense, as the album was produced in Nashville. The theme is a girl in love, styled with a classic Nashville hook.

But it's Katie's personality and voice that make this a fine piece. Tho she is an expert arranger and skilled composer, it's those personal qualities that make her singing so transformative. Katie is also a terrific fiddler, tho on this cut she seems to be backed up by studio instrumentalists.

But, as far as I know, the album is still in the wings, as are the other cuts from it. In fact, this Katie video slid onto Youtube with no fanfare. Not sure why... but there is no avoiding fanfare when it comes to the doings of Katie and her interesting Bluegrass band, the Petersens.

Still, this isn't Bluegrass, nor is it from a Petersens album. It is part of the initial solo flight of a young artist, following on the heels of Katie's younger sister Julianne , who just released a solo album, Beatrice. We might guess the name of Katie's album, but as she is holding her cards close to the vest, the best course is to wait and see.

Single available on Apple and Amazon Music.
