See country singer-songwriter Caylee Hammack discuss her love of David Bowie, finding strength as an artist and more during our RS “Morning Sessions” presented by the IHGRewardsClub Premier Card
The journey, as she described it in her interview, was not without struggle. After high school, she turned down a scholarship to stick with her first love. When that didn’t work out, she began to plot her way to Nashville, and to a music career. To get there required a few weeks spent in her car, camped out in a Target parking lot, until Hammack was able to find steadier gigs singing for four hours a night at honky tonk bars on the notoriously hard-nosed scene on Broadway.
“But getting to do what you love every day… even if it’s crappy, you’re getting to do what you love.”“Family Tree,” her lead single, is a sharp-witted, keenly song about chronicling what seems to be a typical family . According to Hammack’s interview, it’s all true — including the line, “Sister smoked all the Camels in the county last week” — and while her family wasn’t entirely pleased with all the chronicling, they do seem to appreciate the fact that it’s a great song.
