Kerrianne Cox - Return to Country
Authentic soul music from the legendary Kerrianne Cox - Australian Aboriginal Artist of the Year (2005
Kerrianne says that she writes songs and performs because:

Cady McClain
Biography
A Southern California native, Cady McClain soaked up the sounds of the tumultuous late sixties and early seventies while wondering the then untouched beaches and landscape of Laguna. Her mother’s love of American roots music was introduced to Cady through her collection of songbooks and instruments including the hammered dulcimer, the recorder, the concertina, and the auto harp, as well as a stand up piano and Yamaha guitar.
She bought the full collection of Beatles Albums including “Rarities” from money she made dancing in “Pennies From Heaven, when she was twelve. Cady was strongly drawn to the experimentation of The Beatles’ White Album, the dual album described by critics as either “scatershot” or “singularly gripping in its musical experience”.
“The album then and now, seemed to express total freedom of thought and creativity,” said Cady, “I loved that they were allowed to explore any direction musically that compelled them, rather than repeating a form or a theme, and most of all, it seemed honest. That raw purity never left me, it became a goal to aim for in all my work.”
McClain picked up that Yamaha guitar at fifteen and became instantly enamored with it. As a teenage actress memorizing lines for national television, she loved writing and performing songs because there were no constraints. “For the first time it felt like something of my own creation, I could capture a moment in a completely different way than acting, and I was completely uncensored.”
