Kelli Rae Powell sounds like the female singer from Squirrel Nut Zippers. You know who I mean. This bluesy album is less honky and more tonk, which is fine with me. “Guy What Takes His Time” sets the stage for an album of relaxing glasses of lemonade and watching the clouds pass by.
“Old Tom” is a nice story, I guess. It’s kind of hard to tell, but it might be because football is on TV. The song itself is good. Powell tries a little too hard when she sings, which is entirely unnecessary with her pipe skills. But it’s less apparent in this ditty.
“Drinkaby” is kind of trippy. I would recommend listening to this one sober unless you like to be freaked out. “Some Bridges Are Good to Burn” has the right balance and is one of the best songs on the album.
Otherwise, the songs tend to run together, but nothing misses, either. It will be interesting to see what the next album sounds like. Sometimes the temptation of variety ends up making things worse, so you never really know what to expect with that sort of thing.
