The gorgeous Mississippi native released a new album, 'Ain't Got No Troubles, ' on Yellow Dog Records, which debuted at #5 on the Billboard Blues chart and #1 on the iTunes Blues chart, won her third Blues Music Award for Piano Player of the Year, received an artist fellowship from the Mississippi Arts Commission and was greeted with ecstatic reviews for her new CD. USA Today praised Brent's "raw vocal sound" while NPR Song of the Day called her "irresistibly fresh." In addition, Brent was or will be a featured guest on several nationally syndicated radio programs, including NPR Weekend Edition, American Routes, House of Blues Radio Hour and Beale Street Caravan.
