“American Dreaming” is the first track on Ferrell’s upcoming album. In it, she not only sets the tone for the 12-track collection but also tells her story of life on the road. At the same time, she’s looking back on the road that led her to national acclaim. Today, the West Virginia native is selling out tour dates across the country and sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in the country and Americana world. Not so long ago, she was hopping trains, singing on street corners, and dreaming of the day that her star would rise. That day has finally come and “American Dreaming” is a celebration of its arrival.

Ferrell’s sound is timeless. Her voice combines strains of Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn without sacrificing an ounce of individuality. Her musicianship harkens back to the Hillbilly Music that predates bluegrass and country music. At the same time, her lyrics are modern and timely. She stands with one foot in the present and one in the past. The fiddle, steel, and acoustic guitar combined with the lyrical themes of “American Dreaming” are a perfect example of what has made her so popular among roots music fans in recent years.
