That Nashville Sound receives many different CD releases throughout the year from indie and new artists that we’re doing short mini CD reviews on. We call them That Nashville Soundbites- it’s a feature that will allow us to give some props to some albums and artists that deserve a spotlight on their work.
Release Date: December 2009
Music Label: Self-released
The Skinny: I’m sure when you think of classic old-school rootsy honkytonk music, the first thing you think of is…. Seattle? This debut from Seattle singer-songwriter Zoe Muth is twelve beautifully told stories of heartbreak, lost loves, and longing. Muth's voice is a perfect fit with just a hint of a little drawl. Each song is elegant and simple- making them feel familiar even though each one is fresh and new. If you’re interested in beautiful pedal steel, gorgeous mountain mandolin, and old-school country, this is one of the best offerings of the last year.
