Hints and tips:
...The gig is a romp, her four-piece band peeling through walking bass lines and chiming pedal steel as she vibrates with energy....
...The only thing is that, to those weaned on Hank Williams or Merle Haggard or Johnny Cash, Kelsea Ballerini doesn’t look or sound in the least country....
...We recorded three weeks of live sessions, inviting musicians including Elton John, Willie Nelson, Ana Gabriel, Rhiannon Giddens, Raphael Saadiq, the late Merle Haggard, Jack White, Los Lobos, Steve Martin...
...Warm bass and a relaxed ambient beat gave them a childlike innocence as they bounced along in their outsized spacesuits....
