​India Ramey (from the album Shallow Graves available as a self-release) 
Real life stories staged in the familiar settings of modern-day America are unearthed in Shallow Graves, the recent release from India Ramey. Religion finds itself a character for “Keep Hope Alive’ alongside the former jailbird who discovers faith in prison and the whispers confiding they hope it takes this time. The sonics rise like spirits shaken loose when Shallow Graves exposes “The Witch” as India Ramey strums a mountain gospel hymn in “Angel of Death”, quotes haters tossing barbs to the classiest girl at the “Debutante Ball”, and takes aim at Washington politics in “King of the Ashes”.
Anyone up for an anthem? India Ramey uses an Eastside shoutout to make a mantra for short-term solutions for 2020 with “Up to No Good” while a Southwest wind carries the ghostly echoing of haunted guitar notes when India Ramey finds an outlaw partner in “You and Me Against the World”. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, India Ramey collects observations and judgments in roughly three-minutes bursts on Shallow Graves, an oracle scribing wisdom and wit on the banks of the Cumberland. An outsider finds an exit, watching a world of woe fade in the rearview mirror as she hears the promise of a highway ahead of her four wheels in “Montgomery Behind Me” as Shallow Graves tenderly plucks notes to fill “Hole in the World”. The confidence of her delivery and the clear meanings in her words gives the songs of India Ramey heft, raising her tales higher than the dirt beneath Shallow Graves, preaching from the good book of Rock’n’Roll Country in the rumble of the title track.
