Appalachia LP

Helene tore through Western North Carolina in September 2024, and Emily Scott Robinson wrote the title track out of what was left, aiming the song at community care instead of what nobody could stop. Appalachia is her fifth album and third for Oh Boy Records, John Prine's old label, cut in five days that spring with Josh Kaufman at Dreamland Recording Studios, a century-old church turned studio near the Hudson River.
