When I interviewed Kashena Sampson around the release of her debut album in 2017’s Wild Heart it turned out that wasn’t the first time we’d been in the same room. The first time was my one and only visit to The Basement East in Nashville to catch a show with Joshua Hedley and Little Bandit. Coincidences hey?

Now, returning four years on with Time Machine Kashena shows a growth of sound that places her with some of the best in the country genre. Time Machine is a classic in the making, with its songs, musicianship, and those wonderful vocals that take you away to another place and time.
