Adia Victoria A Southern Gothic (Vinyl LP)

Growing up in Spartanburg, South Carolina and raised in a strict, Seventh Day Adventist atmosphere, Adia Victoria knows about feeling less than whole. But following her inner voice, and creating a new life for herself in New York, Atlanta, and now Nashville (with stints in Paris and Germany) honed a self-assured voice that resists the outside gaze. She explains, "I wrote this album as a memorial to my 20s. Those are tender years for a lot of women. It hurts." Like the writing of Eudora Welty and Tennessee Williams, there is plenty of Southern Gothic styled, marrow deep joy to be found on the album. Featuring guest appearances by Kyshona Armstrong, Margo Price, Jason Isbell, Stone Jack Jones and Matt Berninger.
