Sierra Hull Sees Herself "Easy Come, Easy Go"

The bluegrass mandolin prodigy Sierra Hull has released new video for her genteel and wistful new single, "Easy Come, Easy Go," off her forthcoming new album "Daybreak." The video was directed by award winning director David McClister and was filmed in one day at the Two Rivers Mansion in Nashville. "Daybreak" was produced by Union Station's bassist, Barry Bales. It features some of the best singers and players in the contemporary bluegrass scene. This is Mandolin sensation's follow-up to 2008's "Secrets."
Bluegrass music has always had a mature sound with beautiful music and sweet vocals. People often think of Alison Krauss and Union Station when they think bluegrass. Born and raised in Byrdstown, Tennessee, Hull became well known in bluegrass circles for her skill on guitar and mandolin at age 8, Hull's drive to succeed in the bluegrass world. Foregoing the typical route of young musicians Hull is looking to take the mature route even if it means giving up huge initial success in favor of long-term sustained success.
Written by Kevin McLung, debut country single is about a young woman getting over a relationship. She sees herself no longer crying when she remembers the boy. She's slowly going through the breakup and moving on. It's a mature topic and one that fits right in with her goal of becoming a mature musician. "Easy Come, Easy Go" is also a beautiful song. The music of the fiddles, steel guitars and mandolin are there. The sound is familiar yet new. It sounds like an Alison Krauss song, but has its own appeal also.
A good chunk of popular music's real estate has been carved up along lines of age these last half-dozen decades, and we're used to seeing young musicians aim exclusively for young audiences then flounder as they outgrow teenaged listeners' tastes and concerns. Pan-generational mentoring and mingling has done much to insulate bluegrass from this coming-of-age quandary. Still, the 19-year-old Bluegrass artist is the rare soul to make it through these years entirely unscathed. Overall Hull and her new song "Easy Come, Easy Go" should find a ready audience in the country and bluegrass world. It's hard to deny talent like this and people respond to talent, authentic stories, and beautiful music.
