Slide and reverb-heavy guitars dominate a roots’n’blues set that exudes emotional armour, opener Careless Love laying down a lament-drenched instrumental. The upbeat stomp-rock of next Don’t Let Go also demonstrates that love does win, vocalists Rachael Davis and Ruby Amanfu joining in the celebration.
That reverb gets a shimmy slide on third Honest I Do, Davis pushing the love boat
out on this love-lake, and she sings again on the following vocal turn of the album’s
opener, romantic country tones joining with the plaintive fiddle of Fats Kaplin
in a slow waltz of warbled beauty.
Closer Forget to
Remember to Forget, featuring Jonathan Jackson, pushes the reverb through
the vocal and adds this to fuzz and feed-backed pulse in the guitar’s empathetic
wail.
A fine album attesting to love's musical arc.
