Join Nancy J. Reid and Lisa D. Smith, the mother-daughter travel team and publishers of Big Blend Magazines, for Big Blend Radio's Fall Festival Series, featuring Wisconsin singer-songwriter Peggy James and producer Jim Eannelli, who share some of the songs and stories behind her new album, "Paint Still Wet." 

Peggy James defies categories. There is a lot of country in her songwriting and her voice— but a lot of other elements as well. On her fifth album, "Paint Still Wet," Peggy is a pop artist for the 21st century, eclectic in her sources and strong in her conviction in the power of a well-crafted four-minute song. “Paint Still Wet” is produced by Jim Eannelli, who colors the project from the wide palette of his own background as a multi-instrumentalist rock, pop, folk, blues performer. The album releases September 18th in digital and physical formats on Happy Growl Records. Keep up with Peggy James on Facebook.
