“Masterful Guitar and Smooth Vocals” Erin Ross has been playing a confident mix of roots music for many years, from her home base in Calgary. In February 2024 she will be releasing her first full-length album. The Wind Will Lead Me Home is an assured, nine-song collection that shows Ross’ command of the bedrock strains of roots, including blues, folk, rock and roll and jazz. Recorded in Nashville with studio wizard and Canadian ex-pat Steve Dawson and longtime drummer Lorne Petersen, The Wind Will Lead Me Home features session work by John Prine bassist Dave Jacques, Sheryl Crow’s keyboardist Jen Gunderman, multi-instrumentalist Fats Kaplin, and Percussionist Justin Amaral. The nine-tracks ruminate on home and belonging while showcasing some of Music City’s magic and polish. The First Single Whiskey and Woodsmoke is available now.
