STACIE COLLINS

Sometimes Ya Gotta…

staciecollins.com

Stacie Collins represents a refreshing break from the shy, retiring types that seem to dominate Austin and Nashville these days. Opening track “Hey Mister” emphasizes that point by tossing out the typecasting so prevalent in commercial country music these days. “Hey mister, listen to the radio playin’/Another shooting star/But they ain’t got a damn thing to say.” Collins isn’t so shy about asserting herself. With the help of producer Dan Baird and a backing crew that includes bassist husband Al Collins and Jason and the Scorchers guitarist Warner E. Hodges, she pulls together a rollicking set of songs that pairs attitude with amplitude. Bold and brassy, Sometimes Ya Gotta… leaves little doubt Collins is a star waiting in the wings.
