Serving as her first album composed entirely of self-penned material, this ambitious project functions as a semi-autobiographical country music opera. 'The Ballad of Sally Rose' narrates the rise and tragic fall of a female country singer, serving as a veiled, deeply emotional tribute to her former mentor, Gram Parsons. The critically acclaimed, narrative-driven record showcased her maturity not just as a legendary interpretive vocalist, but as a masterful songwriter.
