Country music album reviews from Holler.
On My Bed, the deeply personal is all the politics there is. Not to say that there’s any simple resolution to be found: for Bruce, conflicting feelings and contradictory impulses are dissected, sometimes subdued, but rarely tamed.
Blue in the Sky is a solid representation of the commercial country status quo; Dustin Lynch opting to reinforce country tropes even when presented with an opportunity to subvert them.
It's perfectly crafted pop-country that goes down like smooth caramel, while also ensuring you that she’ll never pretend to be anything but herself.
The Blossoms’ natural minimalism - combined with Torrey and Burkum’s transcendent voices - make One Day an early contender for Americana album of the year.
A superb and mesmerizing next step in Erin Rae's promising career.
Over 30 years after their split, the presciently titled new album from The Rave-Ups is a rousing return.
