Country music album reviews from Holler.
Thomas Rhett has declared that this album aims to be versatile enough to have “a song for everyone”; here he’s succeeded. We’re pretty sure his wife will be chuffed too.
There is a better album lurking under the surface of Freewheelin’ Woman struggling to get out. But after the extended wait for new music from someone as talented as Jewel, it’s a disappointment.
It’s safe to assume that most have never heard anything in country, or in any other genre for that matter, quite like Country Coming Down.
While there is no denying the musical parallels between TWB and their inspiration, The Band, the bulk of Shines Like Gold’s rugged Americana exudes enough unique qualities to show they can rest on their own merits.
Molly Tuttle isn’t trying to reinvent the bluegrass blueprint here, but rather stake her claim as a talented songwriter who loves the music and respects its traditions. It results in her finest album to date.
Humble Quest, the third album from country-pop superstar Maren Morris, is a nuanced return to the fold.
