Deborah Allen Explores ‘The Art Of Dreaming’ On New Project

/by

Deborah Allen is releasing her first album of all-new material in a decade, The Art of Dreaming, on BFD/Audium Nashville on March 18. “Blue Collar Baby,” the album’s first single dropped today (Feb. 4).

The Art of Dreaming draws from Allen’s Delta influences: Memphis soul, rockabilly, gospel, Delta blues and Nashville country. The 12-track project is a combination of new songs and favorites which she kept in her back pocket for just the right time. “Blue Collar Baby,” which Allen wrote with Al Anderson, is an up-tempo country rocker celebrating hard-working, American men everywhere.

“Blue-collar workers are the backbone of our country,” Allen says. “The real people who make up America, that’s what this song is about. I’m a multi-dimensional person. When people hear my new album, they’re going to hear many influences. But, the stories and songs are at the core of it all. I hope that they enjoy the musical ride.”
