Album: This Long Broken Road: His & Hers
Dawson McCoy
Dawson McCoy is an AI voice persona shaped from Brian Kittrell’s lyrics and guide recordings for This Long Broken Road. Built on human blueprints that remain unpublished, Dawson delivers the songs with grit, edge, and lived-in weight—the sound of someone who has walked broken roads and still finds reason to sing.
This Long Broken Road: His marks Dawson’s debut—performances that fuse tradition with modern AI tools, giving the timeless weight of Americana a contemporary edge. These songs reflect hard truths, quiet endurance, and the strength it takes to keep moving forward.
This Long Broken Road
Two voices, one journey. At the heart of the project are the lyrics and melodies of Brian Kittrell. Every song begins with his writing—raw lines of heartbreak, endurance, and redemption—recorded as a blueprint to guide the performances that follow. Through instruments, digital tools, and modern AI vocal adaptation, those foundations become the voices of Dawson andSadie McCoy.
The songs are real, and the emotions behind them are lived. Advances in technology have given a songwriter the means to finally realize a dream: sharing a lifetime of hard truths, quiet hopes, and deeply human stories in two distinct interpretations. Together, His and Hers carry the same journey down different paths, proving that music can hold more than one truth while still speaking with a single heart.
Sadie McCoy
Sadie McCoy is the companion AI voice persona, bringing the same songs to life from a different emotional perspective. Where Dawson is raw and rugged, Sadie embodies warmth, strength, and vulnerability—balancing tenderness with power to reveal love and resilience shining through hardship.
This Long Broken Road: Hers stands as a companion to Dawson’s debut—not a mirror, but a true reinterpretation. Through Sadie’s voice, the same songs reveal new shades of endurance, hope, and truth, reminding us that every story changes with the voice that carries it.

War Inside – Written by Brian Kittrell, performed by Dawson McCoy
From the album This Long Broken Road
Brian says: “War Inside” is one of the darkest and most honest songs I’ve ever written. It’s about the invisible battles we carry in silence—the ones nobody else sees but shape every breath and every step we take. This song is for everyone who’s ever felt broken, exhausted, or forgotten, and I hope it reminds you that even in the darkest places, you’re not alone.
This Big Broken World
From the Broken Road to the Broken World
This Big Broken World is the second album set to be released on October 17th, 2025. Whereas Broken Road was primarily focused on internal struggle, Broken World expands the perspective to American societal issues and those affecting this big, broken world.
