Description

If you’ve got a case of the isolation blues, this record should cheer you right up.  Ferrell hails from the mountains of West Virginia  and the Appalachians can be heard in every line she sings.  Her music is a melting pot of roots, country, bluegrass and soul and even a touch of jazz…there’s a lot more here…zydeco, Mexican and gypsy with plenty of sauce.

In fact, opening track The Sea, starts out with the sound of a Theremin, not a sound automatically associated with ‘roots’ music!. Without waiting too long, you’ll hear fiddle, banjo, clarinet, pedal steel and guitar, managing to sound old timey and modern at the same time.

Sarah Jarosz joins in on banjo on a couple of tracks. But above it all is Sierra’s sweet, lonesome voice…a beauty to behold.

For those who may be a sucker for an old country waltz, from Tennessee or otherwise, you’ll find two of them here,  the strings that accompany album closer Whispering Waltz will have you crying in your beer and the West Virginia Waltz is simply lovely.

I’m ashamed to admit that I missed catching her at OUT ON THE WEEKEND…not once, but twice!!  A major oversight on my part!!  Hopefully she’ll tour here again ONE DAY!??
