 2003’s IBMA Emerging Artist of the Year, Kenny and Amanda Smith released their seventh album, unbound on September 23rd. The album contains thirteen tracks culled from some of todays’ most prolific writers including Roger Helton, Elli Rowe and Craig Market, among others.
Unraveling at a gentle pace, the collection begins with the uplifting “You Know That I Would” and continues on with the tender “Nightbird” and the spritely duo of "Unbound" and "Reaching Out." Throughout the album, 2014 IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year Amanda’s vocals remain incredibly warm and intimate while the accompanying melodies highlight skilled instrumentation that includes bass, mandolin and banjo. The album also includes the jaunty ride of “Wherefore And Why,” and the romantic “Hills of Logan County” as well as “Preaching My Own Funeral” and “Tea Party” on which Kenny takes lead vocals. unbound is an authentic, sincere and lovingly produced collection that is a delightful listen from the first track to the last.
