HALIFAX, Nova Scotia - Aug. 4, 2015 - PRLog -- Recorded in Madison’s back yard in her Tennessee “she-shed” (aka RyLee’s Roost – “The Shack In The Back”) Madison’s new record harkens to her love of live acoustic music. Produced with her husband Clay Krasner in the same neighborhood where fellow Nova Scotian Hank Snow resided as well as Maybelle Carter, the hope was to capture a piece of her neighborhood’s historic vibe.

Over the period of three spring days with a handful of songs, a collection of talented musicians, eight microphones and a few special guests, Madison and one sound engineer squeezed into her 160-square foot “she-shed”. With six of Madison’s songs, plus one very special cover song recorded live off the floor, this record gives the listener an experience much like it would be if they were sitting alongside her in her Roost.The result is a recording unlike any of her others.

Neighbor Joe Fick (who plays Elvis’s bass player in the movie “Walk The Line”) joins her on upright bass, Scott Bernard (lead guitarist for Kenny Loggins), Tenille and Clay Krasner (bass player for Terri Clark) join her on acoustic guitar and fellow Nova Scotian Kris Richards joins in on the gandolin. Madison accompanies herself on all tracks switching between acoustic guitar and gandolin, a first for this seasoned artist. Madison collaborated with fellow Canadian songwriters Tenille, Sydney Mae & Danielle Lowe on this recording as well as Clay and Ron Robinson with the remaining tracks penned solo. A seventh track, “Will The Circle Be Unbroken” is a special addition. Written by A.P Carter, this classic song is one everyone knows and loves. Better still is the fact that RyLee is performing it with her good friend, a third generation Maybelle Carter Family member, Lorrie Carter Bennett. Lorrie is the daughter of country music legend Anita Carter and niece of Johnny Cash & June Carter. Lorrie has many fond memories of visiting with her grandmother Maybelle Carter right across the street from RyLee’s Roost, which makes having her on this recording very poignant.

“Her voice is one of my favorite moments on this project. I’m still pinching myself to have sung such a legendary song with a member of the Carter family,” says Madison.

Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, Madison began singing at the age of 9, playing the ukulele at 10, the guitar at 14 and followed shortly thereafter with songwriting. Madison has created an extensive catalog of music since her recording debut in 2002. She has released 4 albums, 3 EP’s and 11 singles. Madison has written over 1,000 songs resulting in multiple artists of various genres recording her music. Madison produced her 2013 ECMA Country Recording of the Year, Where Does The Time Go, with her husband and has also won five Music Nova Scotia Awards.

Splitting time between Nashville and Nova Scotia, Madison spends her time writing, mentoring and producing other artists alongside her husband under their Nashville-based company 7-17 MUSIC. Madison also frequents her cherished home of Nova Scotia several times a year, submersing herself in the East Coast culture amidst visiting with her friends and family, drawing on the inspiration of her homeland that helps fuel her creativity. "Nashville is my second home. I've created a life here with my husband and friends but Nova Scotia will always be my first home."

RyLee Madison’s new EP Live In Nashville will be released September 15, 2015 (her 8th recording) with a PRE-RELEASE party planned in Halifax during Canadian Country Music Week on Thursday, September 10th at 7:30pm. For more information on how you can attend visit:www.ryleemadison.com
