Oklahoma singer Shawna Russell continues to live her music dream
Shawna Russell emerged as a country-rock “Goddess” with her 2008 debut album.
Crowned among the Country Music Association's “Who New to Watch,” the Okemah singer/songwriter/guitarist has now conjured up her self-titled second album, and she's come too far and worked too hard to get mired in the dreaded sophomore slump.
“It's just always one of those things where you just keep working and keep working and keep working, and then all the sudden somebody asks you to take a look behind, and you have to see how far you've come since you started. And that's what's always wonderful for me, that I've been able to progress as an artist and just been able to have the inspiration to write songs and to make new music,” Russell said in a phone interview Tuesday, the day she released her new album on her indie label, Way Out West Records.
