Blaine Bailey’s debut album Home (ᎣᏪᏅᏒ in Cherokee syllabary) is a bold, auspicious, full, rich, and entertaining specimen to authentic Northeast Oklahoma country rock, reminding you of some of the best up-tempo tracks of the Turnpike Troubadours. If nothing else, this album gratifies with its full tilt attitude, while blazing fiddle and steel guitar ground the music in country roots. As a steel guitar player himself, Blaine insists these country sounds remain essential to his rock songs.
