Brit Taylor’s Signature Appalachian Country Style Shines Brightly Throughout New LP
Brit Taylor’s Signature Appalachian Country Style Shines Brightly Throughout New LP, Land Of The Forgotten
Out now on RidgeTone Records and Thirty Tigers; Catch Taylor at Skinny Dennis Nashville on March 12th and on the road with Adam Chaffins and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band this summer
Nashville, TN - March 6, 2026 - “This album feels like driving home to me,” says songwriter and recording artist Brit Taylor of her new album, Land of the Forgotten. And that feeling of home means a lot, musically speaking, when you’re from the same Eastern Kentucky Appalachia that bore fellow musicians Loretta Lynn, Keith Whitley, The Judds, and Tyler Childers. Taylor’s songs’ scenes and characters are built from colorful memories of back home and delivered by her rich and layered voice, playful and cheeky as much as it can be cutting and demanding of attention. Her latest eleven-song LP is a collection of these tightly written, hook-driven songs that often center on the working class, produced by the one person who knows Taylor’s musical strengths through and through: her husband, Adam Chaffins. Taylor and Chaffins, along with their perpetual collaborator, songwriter Adam Wright, and a few others, weaved together a sonic tapestry that highlights Taylor’s singular voice, her love and compassion for where she’s from, and a balance between the ups and downs of life. “I think it puts a light-hearted spin on some of the tougher things about life,” says Taylor. “Not to make light of difficult times, but to remind us two things can exist at one time, and not to forget to take a look at the bright side too, and to not take it all so seriously.”
Released on the newly formed RidgeTone Records, a label in support of Appalachian talent based in Prestonsburg, Kentucky, and distributed through Thirty Tigers, fans can stream or purchase Land of the Forgotten today right here. For more information, please visit brittaylormusic.com.
Taylor will take the stage for a special Nashville show on March 12th at Skinny Dennis before departing for a tour with Adam Chaffins in April. This summer, Taylor rejoins Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s All The Good Times: The Farewell Tour as support for the legendary group’s final stint.

About Brit Taylor: On her new album, Land of the Forgotten, Brit Taylor takes us to her much discussed and misunderstood homeland, Appalachia, with songs that reveal the complex heart and complicated people of the place. Taylor is an accomplished singer-songwriter who has been performing professionally since she was a child. She has always taken the bull by the horns; Taylor has spent seven nights a week singing on Broadway, cold-called record execs, and she even formed a cleaning business to help finance her first album, Real Me, on which Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) co-wrote five of the songs. Only three years later she found herself being produced by two of the most sought-after producers in Nashville: Grammy winners Sturgill Simpson and David Ferguson. Since then she has made her Grand Ole Opry debut, gained a devoted following as she toured the whole country, and garnered praise from the likes of NPR, Billboard, Rolling Stone, and American Songwriter. Land of the Forgotten will be released March 6th 2026 by RidgeTone Records, LLC Under Exclusive License from RidgeTone Records, LLC Marketed and Distributed by Thirty Tigers
