For Nugent, this day has been a long time coming. “It almost doesn’t feel real,” notes the songstress. “I went home for a visit and didn’t come back to Nashville for almost 10 years. But I am back, and so excited to share this new music with everyone.” Many tastemakers are just as excited to hear it:
"It’s kinda strange but two of my best friends and great singers liked the same song: Alecia Nugent and George Jones. Both recorded ‘The Old Side Of Town’: two of my favorite records. I’m not taking sides, but one is better looking than the other one." - Tom T. Hall
“Alecia is the definition of “real” Country music and she sings it the way it was intended - honest songs about genuine people in a time when we are all aching for something ‘authentic’.” - Jerry Salley, SESAC Writer of the Year
“Alecia sings and writes songs with such feeling… her delivery brings them to life.” - Sandy Zimmerman, Las Vegas Tribune
“Nugent remains an absolutely heart-stopping, old-school Country singer. She has a voice that was born to blend with fiddle and steel guitar. In fact, every note that comes from her throat sounds like a Country music instrument.” - Robert K Oermann, MusicRow
“Keith Stegall brings out the Country in the Bluegrasser with devastating effect.”- Duncan Warwick, Country Music People
For every copy of THE OLD SIDE OF TOWN sold on www.alecianugent.com throughout the month of September, Alecia will donate one-half of the proceeds to eight-year-old Texan, Zayden, who is suffering from brain cancer.
