SARA DOUGLAS - Rocket Ship

Another homegrown release comes from Glasgow based SARA DOUGLAS, whose latest album “Rocket Shop” was recorded in Nashville.
Sara has quite a variety of styles, a strong vocal , and proves herself a strong songwriter as well, having written or co-written all but one of the songs.She has already supported the likes of Kevin Montgomery. Her band has only been together or a few months, but already getting noticed.
It’s not all Country. There’s folk and pop influences too, but the opening track “Jenny’s Song” is certainly Country enough to catch my attention.
On “Hoping”, Sarah delivers a strong Country ballad.
“The Beating Of My Heart” has a catchy beat, and although quite bluesy, does have a kinda Judds feel to it. The more uptempo “Tightrope Walking” also has a Judds influence to it.
The album’s closing track, “Shame, Shame,Shame” has quite a raunchy feel to it. It doesn’t sound like a Nashville recorded album, but I really liked her sound.
