Ilse DeLange - Gravel & Dust
LCM Song Of The Day: ‘Gravel and Dust’ - Ilse DeLange
Over the course of the next few weeks, we will be sharing some of artists and bands who really impressed us at the recent AMA UK showcases. First up is Dutch Americana and Country Pop Rock singer-songwriter Ilse DeLange. We love this live version of ‘Gravel and Dust’ taken from a recent live session at Carter Vintage Guitars. The song is the title track of her wonderful latest album released in April last year via Universal.
Ilse DeLange is one of the most respected and best-selling female artists in The Netherlands. Her debut album “World of Hurt”, produced by Barry Beckett in Nashville, was the start of her musical career in 1998. Many hit singles, #1 albums, platinum records and prestigious awards followed over the years.
After a long lasting very successful solo career, Ilse DeLange decided to start an Americana band: ‘The Common Linnets.’ The band participated in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2014 and stole the hearts of 200 million viewers in Europe. Their debut single ‘Calm After The Storm’ became an instant hit in all of Europe, reaching #1 14 countries.
