Title: Dying Star Artist: Kelly, Ruston Label: Rounder Product Type: VINYL LP UPC: 888072057135 Genre: Country
Double vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release. The full-length debut from singer/songwriter Ruston Kelly, Dying Star is a document of self-destruction and salvation. With a storytelling sensibility that constantly shifts from candid to poetic, the Nashville-based artist details his experience with addiction, which included time in rehab and an overdose in early 2016. Rooted in a delicately sculpted sound that shows every nuance of his vocal delivery, Dying Star captures all the chaos and heartbreak on the way to finding redemption. Dying Star is co-produced by Ruston Kelly and Jarrad K (Kate Nash, Weezer.)
