“There is something so authentic, raw and untroubled about her delivery of each tune on this record. Seemingly ok with heartache and despair, or at least accepting that its part of being human. A deadpan delivery and a break in her voice that could collapse mountains with its benevolence, that even when she sings the most scathing of her lyrics, a certain vulnerability and realness seeps through…”
That’s how I felt about Sarah Shook‘s 2018 release “Years” and the fact that it is still a mainstay that breaks through the new noise in my inbox every day says something. Its a constant for me and Shook’s mix of emotions that boil down into this completely human emotion and experience, well thats the kind of emotion that music is supposed to employ in your heart and soul.
Sarah will be up in Burlington, Vermont with the full band this coming weekend at Club Metronome (with a few other New England stops along the way). To say you should go to these shows is an understatement. But I’ll just leave you with this below and you can make that decision for yourself…but seriously, make the right choice.
