My One And Only, a Nashville-based duo emerging on the Americana music scene, released their debut album “The Past Year” today to all major online retailers. The album is produced by Grammy Award-nominated Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes,) and features all original songs by the duo – husband and wife Ben and Kassie Wilson.
“This album permits the listener to peek into some of the vulnerable times over the past year of our lives,” Kassie said. “We’re excited to share these true-to-life and emotionally raw songs set to the backdrop of an all analog-recorded album. It’s a musical glimpse into our honest selves,” Ben continued.
As to their musical style, My One And Only is Southern soul with curious grittiness. The album features five songs and is described as having an edgy, Americana vibe with a load of truth-telling. It is now available for download or may be streamed on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play & Amazon.
“My One And Only!!! I love these guys. If their fun, upbeat songs don’t seal the deal for you, their never-ending onslaught of bold harmony is undeniable,” said Andrija Tokic, My One And Only producer, and Grammy Award-nominated producer of Alabama Shakes.
The lead single is “To My Rescue,” a look at the ups and downs of marriage and the goodness gained by persevering. About the single, Kacy Hagerty, TV host of “Nashville Insider” said, “Kassie and Ben’s new single is deeply authentic and unique. Their voices blend in the most beautiful ways and the song is lyrically perfect.”

About My One And Only
My One And Only may be the latest duo to hit the Americana scene, but Kassie and Benjamin are no novices. Kassie moved to Nashville from her home state of Alabama to follow a country music career. During her solo years, Kassie perfected her songwriting and vocal chops. Originally from Iowa, Benjamin pursued music early, then segued to audio engineering and pursuits in Nashville. It was in Music City they met, and melded hearts and music. The union is the centering of Kassie and Benjamin; the result is a remarkable off-center sound right for the time.
As to style – My One And Only gathers its strength from Southern soul mixed with curious grittiness. They’ve honed their sound in individual crucibles on stage, TV, radio, solo recording, engineering and producing. The merger brings true-to-life lyrics that bid you to wander through hidden scenes in their lives – to find heart, emotions, the real. Blanket the raw with hollow-body guitars and home-grown harmonies, and My One And Only’s music cuts through. They have played stages throughout the U.S., as well as touring Uganda, Africa, and have both graced the stage of the famed Ryman Auditorium in their hometown of Nashville.
My One And Only declares performance as their love-share to the world. “The stories behind our songs make them come alive, and in our live shows, people discover that,” Ben said. Kassie agreed, “We want to share our music and heart with as many people as possible.”
My One And Only. Think of them as heart-artists and get ready to fall in love.
