about

Red Star Sky started as a departure from songwriter Corey Layman's prior and current projects and as a return to basics. Layman started with just an acoustic guitar and an interest in mining some of his earlier musical influences - folk, country rock, bluegrass, classic rock - and it became an opportunity to explore writing in the alt-country and Americana genres that have been the domain of many of his favorite artists.

As the realities of the pandemic set in during 2020, and the loss of playing music with others in person began to weigh heavily, Layman turned to this growing collection of songs to find a performing and recording outlet.

On New Ghosts represents a sampling of the earliest Red Star Sky songs, ranging from the growly "Herbert R." to the somber "Your Grace," all of which draw from the feelings of loss, anger, and abandon that have been so raw and present during the pandemic, and ties them to those same well worn feelings, which have permeated Appalachia and so much of its musical legacy.
