 Ask the naive listener what inspires a musician, and the phrases "Benjamin Franklin" and "agrarian values" would undoubtedly not be the typical response. Yet for Adrienne Young, such concepts are exactly the basis for her unique music. She creates a dynamic pairing of lyrics, which hearken back to traditional wisdom and philosophy, fused with an old-time bluegrass sound, yet ingeniously creating a thoroughly modern appeal. Young has recently released her second album, The Art of Virtue, with backing band Little Sadie and, as on her debut album, co-wrote most of the songs and released it on her own label, Addiebelle Records. There is no surprise that this independent, free-spirited yet tremendously dedicated artist is so involved in the production of her albums. On the jacket of her latest CD, alluding to Benjamin Franklin's teachings, Young reveals, "If my passion to lead an honorable existence is sincere, then it is my OWN garden I must cultivate." She indeed cultivates and brings to bloom a contemporary new sound, through classic, warm vocals and peppy fiddle and banjo melodies, crafting truly impassioned music. Clearly, an honorable existence is certain for this one-of-a-kind rising artist.
