{"product_id":"rayland-baxter-true-violet","title":"Rayland Baxter - True Violet","description":"\u003cp\u003eTrue Violet finds Rayland Baxter back on ATO Records with eleven songs about loss, solitude and slowly finding your feet again. It is his first studio album since 2022's If I Were a Butterfly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Nashville songwriter, son of the late pedal steel player Bucky Baxter, wrote this one during a long stretch alone in the Tennessee hills, piling up more than seventy songs before narrowing them down. The title makes sense once you hear his reasoning: the reds of anger and the blues of sadness bleeding together into something closer to acceptance. It is also the first record he has made without his father around.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNick Waterhouse and Paul Butler share production duties, and their touch is warm and unfussy, leaving plenty of room for Baxter's easygoing voice to wander. Opener Better Man, co-written with Tyler Ballgame, who also sings backing vocals, sets an honest, open-hearted tone. Songs like Haymaker and Real Bad Rut carry the album's mix of grit and grace, and Oh My Love brings things home on a tender note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a record about grief and recovery from someone who sounds like he has made peace with both. Fans who have followed him since Feathers \u0026amp; Fishhooks will hear a songwriter at his most personal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57307800535345,"sku":"880882708917","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Rayland_Baxter-True_Violet.jpg?v=1793814115","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/rayland-baxter-true-violet","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
