Exclusive for WMOT by Ed Rode
When Emily Scott Robinson released Appalachia, her fifth album in a 10-year career and her third for Nashville boutique Oh Boy Records, it spiked up into the Americana airplay top ten, something that had never happened to her before. But she had set the table through quality songwriting, ambitious touring, and a luminous voice that embraces the dark and the light with a rare alchemy. At WMOT’s Eastside studio, Craig and Emily speak about her newest work with super-producer Josh Kaufman and the hard work that led to it.
