To be released on John Prine\u2019s Oh Boy Records come January 30th, 2026, Appalachia<\/em> promises to set the pace for high caliber songwriting in the new year. Produced by Josh Kaufman (Bonnie Light Horseman), the album was recorded in an old 1896 church on the banks of the Hudson River known as Dreamland Recording Studios in rural New York. The 10-track album will also feature a duet with John Paul White. <\/p> Robinson started her adult life as a social worker in Colorado. But after being turned onto songwriting, she discovered that music could be just as good if not better for addressing the ills of the world, and offering some help and healing to people. <\/p> \u201cThere\u2019s this thing I do with every record I make,\u201d <\/em>Emily Scott Robinson says. \u201cI knit a prayer into it, and I ask for all these songs to find their way to everyone who needs them. I ask these songs to be of service, to help people find and experience joy<\/em>. If my music can do that, I\u2019ll die happy. I hope that\u2019s far in the future. But that\u2019s what I want my songs to do. It\u2019s like a ministry, my ministry.\u201d<\/em> Oh, my heart swept down the river<\/em> Many of Emily Scott Robinson\u2019s songs are character studies. \u201cAppalachia\u201d is told from the perspective of a mother, about Mother Nature. \u201cTime Traveler\u201d is about her grandmother who is suffering from dementia. Every one of Robinson\u2019s songs looks to shed some light on the tribulations and sometimes subtle victories within the human condition. <\/p> Appalachia<\/em> is now available for Preorder\/Presave<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p> TRACK LIST: <\/strong><\/p> 1. Hymn for the Unholy![\"\"](\"https:\/\/savingcountrymusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/emily-scott-robinson-appalachia.jpg\")
