Old school country and old school lyrics but utterly fresh-sounding, and that is projected through the simple fact of authenticity, and also I think a nod to modernity in the twist on a conventional mention, as here from Your Loving Saves Me

soft as gravy

but
your lovin' saves me
Having spent some time in prison for stealing from her drug dealer, there is street cred and the relevance of the album's title [and referenced in Wasco], but her main Country credibility is in the clarity in her vocal, beautifully soaring and swooning on From Outer Space.
