Elles Bailey - Take A Step Back (Cooking 
Vinyl/Outlaw Music)
Release Date: Out Now
Bristol's country queen, Elles Bailey, is embarking on one heck of a tour in the early part of 2026 and to whet your whistle she's released the infectiously life affirming 'Take A Step Back'. Sliding in on the back of a swaggering band with full horns, sexy organ and the kind of sound that is part Motown and part Nashville, Bailey's vocal is assured, full of character and, frankly, deserving of bigger venues that her tour schedule suggests. Maybe the last chance to catch a rising star in relatively intimate spaces?
