India Ramey comes with a lot of attitude. That approach is delivered via a record reminiscent of an honky tonk jukebox circa 1960. Come on in for the Cow Punk, stay for the Outlaw Country and crooned ballads, all put together in the kick-ass package that is Ramey’s latest release in Baptized by the Blaze.
She charges out of the gate with a more than confident vocal push, and loads of personality, on the album opener in “Ain’t My First Rodeo”, following up the dance floor ripper with the title track; a cut with a mysterious, old-west and campfire story vibe that’s ripe for a Spaghetti Western. “Silverado” is a tune that could be decades old, something ready for the past and present Opry.
That croon is on full display on “The Mountain”, while you can cue the tears, and the beer ready to catch the overflow, as “It Could Have Been Me” can have you reaching for a box of tissues. Baptized by the Blaze wraps like it begins, with a ripper. “Go On Git” is a ‘get out of my life’ tune; a cut with a solid flat-picking break and even more bounce, it’s fun and ready for a celebratory, if not drunken singalong.
While that voice and the whole package screams classic Americana Country, the band deserves a big nod. A stacked group of pickers, that click-clack train rhythm is ever present as it drives the forward motion in the songs, while the players can also hang back and do the Cowboy-Western soundtrack. India Ramey’s another fine example of someone accenting the Rock in Country Rock, and the rebellion in Outlaw Country. This bucks any Commercial country trends and strays from the low hanging fruit that makes people turn their nose at Modern Country, making it easy for you to not pass up a record that revels in a Classic Country that is looking towards the future.
