this one showcases a newfound brashness, from songs like "Won't Go Down," which reflects on the challenges of living a fun, free life while staying morally grounded, to "Worrying Mind" which answers the call from her song "Ease My Mind" as she traded in her life in New York City for the more relaxed atmosphere of Nashville. Michaela Anne's evolution is even evident in the album's cover, in which she sports a bedazzleddenim outfit, a vintage find that's perfect for catching the spotlight. Recorded with producer Dan Knobler (Mason Jar Music), Bright Lights and the Fame features a slate of special guests that include Americana stalwarts Rodney Crowell and Noam Pikelny (Punch Brothers) along with co-writes from acclaimed producer Dave Brainard (Brandy Clark, Jamey Johnson)
