Country music album reviews from Holler.
It’s certainly not your momma’s taste of traditional country, yet Montevallo's honoring of storytelling roots makes it one of the great modern country classics.
On paper, Petunia should be a somewhat challenging listen, but it’s the total opposite of that. It’s a record with so many interesting qualities that, when put together, becomes an engaging and deeply enjoyable LP.
By surrendering their solo stylings, Jackson + Sellers’ spell-binding synergy surmounts in a collaborative effort that hopefully will not be their last.
My Morning Jacket certainly make a resolute statement with this new album, i.e: “we’re back”. Of course, coming as it does from a group so averse to explosive displays, it's the kind of measured statement one needs to lean-in to discern.

Similar to the best documentaries, you don’t need to be a Tom Petty fan to appreciate how this film captures the creation of Wildflowers, and illuminates his character, determination and perfectionism.
