Austin Post-
Kasey Lansdale is young, smart, talented, funny and beautiful. She has a singing career with her third record in the works, an acting career with an upcoming movie that will surely become an instant cult classic and her first short story anthology will be published next year.
You might think for a beautiful and talented blond, life is a beach. But Kasey looks at her art as work – just work that’s damn enjoyable. “It’s a blessing and a curse,” said the singer, “The only way to do this thing full time is to do the things that you want and give the people what they want.”
When it comes to giving her fans what they want, Kasey is a social media maniac that uses her Youtube channel, Facebook, her website and Twitter to stay in touch with her followers, to make them part of her creative endeavors and to get feedback. “I’m fairly new to Twitter,” said Kasey, “but since I began using it I’ve been amazed at what you can do with it. Twitter is amazing.”
-Mike Clute Nashville Producer
Kasey has an contagious enthusiasm for her music. Its been a pleasure to witness her growth as a writer, performer, and entertainer. Her focus on musical direction and her hard work in perfecting her craft, will continue to drive a long and successful career.
– Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter Linda Davis
“Kasey is a fellow East Texan with dreams much bigger than our state! When I heard her sing I knew that with the right songs and right producer she will make her mark in country music. Her work ethic might just be what will seal the “record” deal. She’s not afraid to work hard!”

Wildy’s World Review-
Kasey Lansdale is a little Texas gal with big dreams. At the age of 24 she already writes songs for one of the largest Music Row song factories, tours the world and is on the verge of dropping her third EP, Never Say Never. Lansdale has the looks and voice to make it in Nashville and beyond, but also has brains galore. A published writer, Lansdale wrote a story at the tender age of eight that is currently being shopped as a Hollywood screenplay. Music is the force that turns Lansdale’s world however, and with Never Say Never she’s elevated her game to a level that tends to garner national or even international attention.
Never Say Never opens with “Half As Much”, a mature and literate kiss-off song that’s full of the sorrow of a classic country heartbreaker, but takes the type of positive turn that Garth Brooks was known for. “Why Can’t I” rues her inability to just wall off her emotions for a former love when he has simply walked away like nothing has ever happened. “Just Another Guy” is a comfortable blend of 1970’s pop and country. This song works well. Lansdale is inspired by Bonnie Raitt on the title track. “Never Say Never” explores the idea of romantic returns, justifying them at times and even allowing that sometimes we just can’t help ourselves. “Hard To Be A Lady” is the best overall track on the album, and the one most likely to land Lansdale on the country charts. The concept is a classic one, that a particular man is so irresistible that it makes it hard for her to behave. Lansdale owns this one as if she’s in the middle of the emotional/hormonal tornado the song implies.
Kasey Lansdale isn’t just a vocalist, she’s a performer. Never Say Never confirms Lansdale’s place among some of the bright young stars in country music. The EP should, in a perfect world, land Lansdale on the charts and in the hearts of country music fans everywhere.
