Country singer and coal miner’s daughter, Karen Collins writes exceptional songs that she delivers in a traditional style—Hazel Dickens meets Loretta Lynn. Who says they don’t make ’em like they used to!
Karen stays busy writing songs and playing with her honky tonk band, The Backroads Band, her Cajun/Zydeco band, Squeeze Bayou, the acoustic country quartet, The Blue Moon Cowgirls in addition to doing solo shows. Her latest CD with the Backroads Band, Tail Light Blues is getting airplay and rave reviews across the US and in Europe.
“For the country fan, Tail Light Blues is a cut above even what is called roots music these days. Karen Collins is an authentic country voice in the style of Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette, and her band can rock like Sun Records, with virtuoso picker Ira Gitlin nailing notes all over the place.”
