Honey Dewdrops - Tangled Country


Rating: 5/5

Review:
A very good album

This is a very enjoyable country/Americana album. It's not earth-shakingly original, but it's a set of very good, well-crafted songs which are very well sung and played.

The overall sound reminds me of a slightly less intense Civil Wars, with minimal acoustic backing (of the just a guitar or two with occasional mandolin), lovely plaintive harmonies and very good singing in particular. Laura Wortman and Kagey Parrish are both fine musicians and they produce rather a beautiful album here, excellently arranged and produced.

If you like this genre, you couldn't possibly dislike this album and you may well love it. It doesn't break new ground, but it's a very good album; I've been going back to it a lot and enjoying it every time. I can warmly recommend this.
