'Two Hearted Rounder', the new album from Sarah Lee Langford, is on a precipice. More specifically: A barstool - a place where life is messy, but the whiskey is neat. It's here that one of her protagonists is given a proposition - one that has her reckoning the pain of her recent past against the thrill of newfound freedoms.Much like Langford's own musical roots, these songs embody the best elements of the Old South and the New West via a well-crafted blend of Appalachian austerity, cosmic country, and honky tonk funk that should appeal to fans of Gillian Welch, Joni Mitchell, Loretta Lynn, and the Flying Burrito Brothers. And while the grooves are satisfying, and the melodies indelible, it's Langford's incisive writing that will keep listeners coming back for more.
