Country music album reviews from Holler.
This is music by someone who knows where he’s singing from and what it means to be. You can feel it on every track.
On Living in a Song, the duo refuse to be confined to one style.
Consistency hasn’t been Chase Rice’s forte in years gone by. I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go to Hell is an exception – a largely solid offering that feels as much like a healing process for Rice as it is for his dedicated fans.
Anyone who loves the layered storytelling of John Prine and Nanci Griffith or novelists like Anne Tyler will immediately warm to Homemaker.
Queen of Me is adventurous, a bit weird and delightfully imperfect.
Taylor knows the sort of place that gives her the strongest sense of belonging. She delivers that same assuredness in her music as well.
