Vocalist, guitarist and percussionist GracieHorse pens an autobiographical album here, as we get to take a peek into the last five years of her life, where she hurt her neck while working as a nurse during the pandemic, which subsequently left her unemployed and into a creative spurt that birthed these nine tracks. <\/p>\n
\u201cHollow Head\u201d is the lead off tune, and it doesn\u2019t take long to make an impression with its warm pedal steel from Connor Gallagher and Ben Varian\u2019s fluid drumming alongside GracieHorse\u2019s warm guitar and distinct voice. Though the first tune is heavily influenced by country music, \u201cBy The Light Of His White Stetson\u201d follows with a bit of haze and mystery thanks to Ian Doerr\u2019s frisky percussion and Mike Winther\u2019s moody guitar.<\/p>\n
The middle of the record is populated by Madelyn Struz\u2019s hypnotic banjo and Elliot Kemper\u2019s atmospheric violin that suits GracieHorse\u2019s artistic voice on \u201cNorthwind\u201d, while \u201cBackup Slowly\u201d is flawless classic country thanks to Jeremy Pfau\u2019s playful piano and Noah Kohll\u2019s infectious bass lines that are made for the dance floor.<\/p>\n
Deeper still, \u201cIf You\u2019re Gonna Walk That Straight Line Son, It\u2019s Only Gonna Hurt\u201d places Aaron Olson on bass and Ben Varian behind the drum kit for the cautious roots rocker, and \u201cWords Of The New West\u201d exits with a dreamy, nearly spiritual angle that gallops with a dusty template of thumping drums, rugged guitars and acrobatic bass work by Luke Csehak. <\/p>\n
Although she calls Los Angeles home, GracieHorse spent much time living in Wyoming as a traveling nurse, simultaneously soaking up the country music scene there. That experience gives this body of work an authentic spirit, where her cowboy music is forthright and balances humor and heartbreak with a poise that seems wiser than her years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":34904,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[10901],"rating":[5613],"class_list":["post-46771","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-graciehorse","rating-rating-a-minus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/89"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46771"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46771\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34904"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=46771"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=46771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
