The title of Jaime Wyatt's newest release Felony Blues is a nod to records like David Allan Coe's Penitentiary Blues and Johnny Cash's Live From Folsom Prison. The mostly autobiographical collection is chalk full of stories of conjugal romance, prison songs, and honky-tonk laments. She got busted at a young age for robbing her drug dealer and took a plea deal for 8 months in jail, a felony strike, 6 months of treatment and 3 years felony probation. Sonically, imagine a twangier Fleetwood Mac, or if Linda Rondstadt and the Stones had made a record.
A striking figure with an old soul, and a voice like a force of nature, it's Wyatt's "Punk Rock attitude," professes Heart's Nancy Wilson, one of Wyatt's many high-profile admirers, that sets her apart.
Regardless of genre, Wyatt is all things classic and American; a dynamic performer, who sails naturally between vintage 60s and 70s country/rock 'n' soul anthems and heartfelt country ballads of love and corruption. Country radio station 95.3 The Bear recently named her alongside Sturgill Simpson and Margo Price as "one of the country artists you may not have heard of, but need to hear."
The musicians on the record include top notch Americana and country pickers John Schreffler Jr and Ted Russell Kamp from Shooter Jennings band; Gabe Witcher of the Punch Brothers playing fiddle; fellow Angelino country songwriter, Sam Outlaw, features on the duet "Your Loving Saves Me"; and long time friend and drummer Freddy Bokkenheuser, now the touring drummer for Ryan Adams.
