Renowned country singer-songwriter and Outlaw legend, Lacy J. Dalton, is making a historic move by digitally re-releasing her inaugural album, now available for the first time through Starvista! Originally recorded under her birth name, Jill Croston, nearly five decades ago in a garage, The Jill Croston Album marked Dalton’s initial musical venture before adopting her iconic moniker. This hidden treasure, comprising ten songs, has long held the status of an “underground” record, cherished by devoted fans who often bring it to Lacy J. Dalton for autographs.
The unveiling of this concealed gem comes after years of obscurity, and The Country Note is thrilled to present the exclusive premiere of the track “Higher and Higher.” Maintaining the authentic sound quality of its era, “Higher and Higher” invites listeners on a nostalgic journey, capturing the essence of a relationship destined for improvement. This long-awaited digital release opens a portal to the past, allowing fans to finally experience and appreciate the timeless allure of Lacy J. Dalton’s early musical prowess.
