Description
Fanny Lumsden continues to go from strength to strength, building her fiercely independent brand of autobiographical country and folk music. Playing country hall shows, living and traveling in a caravan and covering all corners of Australia, she’s living as boldly as she’s working hard and this album, her second full-length, finds her documenting those adventures and experiences in song.
What Lumsden does cleverly is paint pop colours and shapes over a roots music framework, but while doing so she also addresses some weighty and important issues such as the emotionality of men in ‘Real Men Don’t Cry (War On Pride)’)and the tragedy of suicide in the affecting and vocally impressive album closer ‘Here To Hear’. A real class act indeed.
This fab album was released independently back in 2018 but is now distributed by a major label, so hopefully more folk will get to hear this wonderfully talented artist!
