Yeah, this is true country. as well as I indicate true country. It’s not huge band huge stage huge money huge rich country. It’s folky tunes with twang. It’s tunes about being a guy (sung by a woman), it’s understated, as well as it’s wonderful. total with a Shel Silverstein cover at the end.
Standouts:
“Anything Else To Do,” on which Carter sings, “Love me like you ain’t got anything else to do.” It’s a universal desire, expressed so just as well as direct. Lovely.
“All I Got,” which is one of the very best tunes about being yourself I’ve heard in years. lots of of her songs, including the upbeat title track, “Lucky,” are about discovering who we are inside, which makes these tunes stand apart. country tunes generally connect identity to one more person or to nobody–country focuses on damaged hearts as well as falling in love. however Carter Sampson’s tunes are about self-definition.
Highest recommendation.
