Country music album reviews from Holler.
Weird Faith isn’t a love story adorned by rainbows and hearts but a vehicle all the more emotionally gratifying – an honest, moving celebration of the complicated search for the love of self and others.
Over the album’s 13 tracks, The Dead South welcome listeners to familiar surroundings: a dusty, barren prairie scape where lawman and criminal are often one and the same.
On her sophomore effort, Chapter & Verse, Gabby Barrett creates a stirring portrayal of motherhood, marriage and faith.
From the moment it opens with the static-washed ‘Sinking Sand’ until it comes to a close with the sighing strings of ‘You To Blame’, the album aches like a letter home from a faraway war and burns like the feverish shouts from a sweltering pulpit.
While not trying to push the envelope in a genre-bending way like some current artists, Into The Neon makes a statement and differentiates itself by resurrecting country music’s neon-tinged golden days.
Everyone's favourite country-folk lovechild returns with his much-anticipated third album, offering heart-wrenching sorrow and comforting solace in even measure.
