"Fiery Memphis &amp;quot;bluntry&amp;quot; (blues + country) singer Grace Askew first gained national attention last year on Season 4 of The Voice, with her whiskey-gargling rasp, Winehouse beehive, and badass attitude. It was one of the biggest Knockout Rounds upsets in the series&amp;apos; history when her coach, Blake Shelton, let her go. Yahoo Music&amp;apos;s Reality Rocks even declared her the &amp;quot;Most-Robbed Contestant&amp;quot; of Season 4.\r\n\r\nBut Grace, who first auditioned for the show with a cover &amp;quot;These Boots Are Made for Walkin&amp;apos;&amp;quot; that wouldn&amp;apos;t have sounded out of place on a Third Man Records B-side, has moved on. She and her boots walked right into Memphis&amp;apos;s legendary Sun Studio, where she recorded her real, raw, and righteous Americana album Scaredy Cat, out this month. She&amp;apos;s appeared in Teen Vogue and Rolling Stone &amp;#x2014; and now, at Yahoo Music, where she recently swung by to play some acoustic &amp;quot;bluntry&amp;quot; tracks from Scaredy Cat.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Bluntry&amp;quot; is a copyrighted term, by the way, so don&amp;apos;t even think of trying to steal it. But really, the word could only apply to its creator, Grace, who somehow simultaneously sounds totally of-the-moment and totally from a bygone era. See her perform here and talk candidly about life after The Voice and the past/future of country music.\r\n\r\nFollow Lyndsey on Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Amazon, Tumblr, Vine, Spotify"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
