Emily Scott Robinson – Appalachia

Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Emily Scott Robinson releases her new album, Appalachia, via Oh Boy Records.

Also out today is a new video for “Cast Iron Heart,” Robinson’s duet with John Paul White.

The song that speaks to a love forged over time, resilient and scarred, yet enduring. Filmed in Florence, Alabama, at White’s studio, the video reflects the song’s hard-earned tenderness, capturing two voices shaped by time and trust.

Appalachia includes the previously released singles “Appalachia”, “Dirtbag Saloon” and “Hymn For The Unholy.”

The 10-song collection, produced by Josh Kaufman (Grateful Dead, Anaïs Mitchell, Bonny Light Horseman) at Dreamland Recording Studios in upstate New York, finds Robinson at her most fearless and tender—singing about love and loss, grief and hope, and the power of community in the face of devastation. Appalachia continues Robinson’s tradition of deeply human storytelling, weaving tales of resilience and belonging against the backdrop of a changing America. With Kaufman’s warm, organic production and Robinson’s unmistakable voice, the album captures the sound of an artist standing firmly in her truth—unafraid to sit with uncertainty and honor what remains.
