"Country Girl"

Hailing from Nashville, Rissi Palmer's "Country Girl EP" from 1720 Entertainment features her current single and title track, along with three additional tracks only available on the digital EP. A gifted singer and songwriter, Palmer co-wrote all four featured compositions. The digital release comes in advance of her self-titled debut full-length album to be released in the fall. Since "Country Girl" was released to country radio in early June, Rissi Palmer has been winning over country music fans all across the country. She is breaking new ground daily and is certainly one sister to watch. We have a feeling she might teach us we all have a little “country girl” in us somewhere.

See what Billboard has to say about Rissi!

"Newcomer Rissi Palmer puts her strong, distinctive voice to good use on this blues-tinged anthem reminding us that being a "Country Girl" is more a state of mind than geographical distinction. Single previews her 1720 debut, in stores now. Palmer's vocal delivery oozes passion and personality that perfectly compiement the sassy lyric. She was a finalist on CBS' "Star Search," and has been featured on "Waiting in the Wings," a CMT documentary about African Americans in country music. With a strong, versatile vocal stamp that could find success in any musical genre, Palmer follows her childhood love by choosing to call country home. Programmers would do well to break type and take notice."
