Album

The Road I Took is the first greatest-hits collection from Dixie Deadshot, gathering twenty tracks from all seven of her albums into one continuous 64-minute record. Sequenced in story order, it traces the whole arc of Raelee Calhoun's life in Pike County, Kentucky: the three warrants and the county board fight of Three Warrants, the people and places of Route 119, the hard-hitting Appalachian trap manifesto of Deadshot, the survival math of Forty-Seven Dollars, the family legacy of Mama Calhoun, the breakthrough of The Long Way Home, and the hard-won quiet of Tuesday. These are the road songs, the county songs, the survival songs, the family songs, and the quiet songs, from "County Commissioner" and "Banjo Is a Drum" to "Knoxville Diner" and "Coffee Going Cold." It's the ideal entry point for new listeners and a front-to-back journey for longtime fans, ending where it all began: "The Road I Took," a solo acoustic look back at the road off 119 she almost didn't take, and everything it led to.
