Valerie June's August Debut

Valerie June grew up in the small town of Humboldt, Tennessee before moving to Memphis.  She spent years honing a distinctive sound that shifts between eras and genres, with a voice that has been described as somewhere between Dolly Parton and Billie Holiday.  June wrote or co-wrote all but one of the 11 tracks on her debut album, Pushin' Against A Stone , with a blend of rural roots, country, rock and blues styles.

The album is due on August 13, 2013 but you can hear the whole thing right now on NPR. GO HERE
