India Ramey blazes a trail through cinematic spaghetti western landscapes to wood floored Honkytonks and the Appalachian foothills. Saving Country Music describes her as “like Loretta Lynn grew Betty Page bangs, and a habit of using bad words” and No Depression says of her newest album, “On her new album, India Ramey is here to kick ass, play honky-tonk and chew bubblegum and she’s all out of gum.”
Featured as one of the “Must See Acts at SXSW “(No Depression, Austin Chronicle), a Nashville’s Lighting 100 artist of the week, a three-time Americana Fest showcasing artist, and one of NPR’s “10 Nashville Artists on the Rise”, India has only continued to rise among the ranks of as one of Country and Americana’s brightest up and coming artists. Ramey’s last two albums’ mix of Americana noire, country and southern-gothic songwriting helped expand Ramey’s reputation far beyond the Deep South and she’s toured heavily around and beyond those releases. Her 2020 album, Shallow Graves debuted at number six on the Euro Americana Charts and landed a song as Rolling Stone’s pick of the week.
Ramey has just released her newest and biggest album yet, Baptized By The Blaze, produced by Grammy award winning producer, Luke Wooten (The SteelDrivers, Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, Sunny Sweeny, Jim Lauderdale). The new album combines India’s classic country sound with her dark cinematic imagery cohesively and seamlessly and it is already off to an impressive start, blowing up from number #90 to #8 in just one week on the Alt. Country Charts, landing at #1 most added the first week on Americana Radio and #1 on the Bubblin Up Americana Chart list in the second week on Americana Radio.
