Mark your calendars for the release of Donna Ulisse’s new album, Mountain Lily, on February 23rd. The recently crowned 2024 SPGBMA (Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America) Songwriter of the Year is ready to unveil her latest Billy Blue Records’ release which expertly weaves together elements of bluegrass, folk, Gospel, and Americana, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both timeless and deeply resonant. Ulisse invites listeners on a soul-stirring journey, romanticizing the beauty of everyday life. The ten-track album is a testament to the enduring power of mountain roots music. “Don’t Time Drag” and “My Constant Savior” showcase the incredible vocal talent which got her signed to Atlantic Records at the beginning of her career. “Where the Mountain Lilies Grow” displays her unique storytelling ability and evokes the timeless beauty and rugged spirit of the mountains. The album carries with it a sense of longing and nostalgia and is a testament to her unparalleled artistry and talent. Every song is infused with raw emotion and authenticity. “I have been making records for more than half my life now, a long time indeed, and without a doubt, this is my best album yet,” says Donna Ulisse. “To have two of my best friends, the incomparable Doyle Lawson and multi-talented Jerry Salley, my heroes and mentors, put their extraordinary talents into my music and pull vocals out of me that have been hiding somewhere inside, is proof that it’s never too late to teach an old dog a new trick or two! Thanks to my Billy Blue Records family, Mountain Lily will always live like a mighty oak in the heart of me!” A&R and Creative Director of Billy Blue Records, Jerry Salley, commented, “With one of the most beautiful voices in bluegrass music today, Donna Ulisse shines on Mountain Lily and proves without a doubt that she is at the top of her game. It was a real honor to work with Donna and Doyle Lawson on this new album.”
