Like a songwriting magician, Caylee Hammack turns heartbreak into beauty on her sophomore album, Bed Of Roses. The 13-track collection sees the Georgia-born singer-songwriter digging deep, putting her country roots together with a wild streak of psychedelic Americana. Hammack, who co-wrote every track, doesn’t feel like she’s just writing songs though. It feels like she’s cultivating a world of hard-earned wisdom and fierce independence, all through unshakable melodies.

Leading the way are the singles “The Hill” and “Breaking Dishes,” songs that showcase her powerful vocals and razor-sharp storytelling. But the album is much more than a showcase of her vocal strengths, it’s about her overall growth as an artist in such short time. “As a little girl who always just wanted a man to bring her flowers, I decided I’d be better off if I just learned how to grow my own,” Hammack says, reflecting on how she got to Bed Of Roses.

Since arriving in Nashville at 19, Hammack has created a space all her own. With a vocal style that blends the ethereal mystery of Kate Bush, the grind of Tom Waits, and the fire of Dolly Parton, she’s turned heads from honky-tonks to the Grand Ole Opry. Her 2020 debut, If It Wasn’t For You, put her on the map, leading to high-profile collaborations with country heavyweights like Ashley McBryde and Miranda Lambert, as well as a stadium tour with Luke Bryan and Brothers Osborne. In 2021, she was nominated for ACM’s New Female Artist of the Year, and her career has only gained momentum since.
