Katie Dauson returns with a tour de force, 'Pure Katie,' a vivid, radiant, and unapologetically dirty rock and roll experience. Initially conceived as a concept album, Pure Katie became something much more vibrant, an all-over-the-place buffet of Dauson’s continually maturing artistry.
Full of infectious energy, roaring guitars, and heartfelt storytelling, the 12-track album is a testament to Dauson’s ability to surpass musical borders. Every song, from high-energy anthems to late-night ballads, pulses with emotion and authenticity, calling listeners into an entirely Pure Katie world.
It’s the edge Dauson is known for, revealing itself most on the high-energy rockabilly jam ‘Won’t You' and the adrenaline-fueled roller derby anthem ‘Go Penny Go.’ "When Will I Wake Up" closes the album with a moody, reflective rock sound, hammering home her depth as a songwriter and performer. Fans of classic rock luminaries like The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Fats Domino will find nostalgic touches laced into the album’s bold and contemporary production.
At 42 minutes and 45 seconds long, Pure Katie is a full-on experience. A celebration of music’s capacity to unite, elevate, and exhilarate, Dauson’s latest release foretells a talent in the making, one who deserves attention in today’s rock realm.
