Album Review: Lydia Luce – The Tides
If you like lush, calm soundscapes, Lydia Luce is the right artist for you. If you like it to have a bit of a subtle Americana softness, this album is definitely for you. I was immediately reminded of Sara Watkins (high praise!) when I first heard Lydia Luce. She belongs in that kind of authentic country singer songwriter royalty. She’s definitely a rising star on her way to many more successful albums like The Tides.
“Linens” starts the album off with a sort of melancholy. It’s a beautiful piece that eases nicely into a range of emotions. “If I let you kiss me… are you gonna come back or you just passin’ through?” It’s such a powerful, pointed expression. One gets the feeling it was written about a smooth talker like Don Draper. She doesn’t want to like him, but she just can’t help it. “I’m addicted to the feeling…” The emotional depth of this one (highlighted with some pretty phenomenal fiddle work) is sure to win a few fans right at the outset. - Ear to the Ground Music
