Lydia Loveless - Somewhere Else - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Real is one of those exciting records where you sense an artist truly hitting their stride. Whether you've followed Lydia's career forever, or you're new to her game, Real is gonna grab your ears. On her first two Bloodshot full-length releases, there were fevered comparisons to acknowledged music icons like Loretta Lynn, Stevie Nicks, and the Replacements... She's half this, half that, one part something else. But now, Real and Lydia Loveless are reference points all their own Genre-agnostic, Lydia and her road-tightened band stretch from soaring, singalong pop gems, roots around the edges, to proto-punk. There are many sources, but the album creates a sonic center all it's own. Song to song, moment to moment, you might find yourself thinking Inchthat could beInch this, or Inchthere are moments ofInch that, but you are quickly transported away to another moment, another thought, another sound, another shot at honesty. Always a gifted songwriter, Lydia gives the full and sometimes terrifying, sometimes ecstatic force to the word Inchreal.Inch Struggles between balance and outburst, infectious choruses fronting emotional torment are sung with a sneer, a spit, or a tenderness and openness that is both intensely personal and relatably universal. It is, as the title suggests, real. Album Tracks 1. Same to You 2. Longer 3. More Than Ever 4. Heaven 5. Out on Love 6. Midwestern Guys 7. Bilbao 8. European 9. Clumps 10. Real

INDESTRUCTIBLE MACHINE, Lydia's Bloodshot debut, combines heady doses of punk rock energy and candor with the country classicism she was raised on and just can't shake. From foggy mountain throw downs where she sounds like a tuff Neko Case, to muscular power pop driven by choppy, tense guitar tonalities recalling Television's Richard Lloyd to the take no S**t spirit of Loretta Lynn and displaying country soul well beyond her years, Loveless true-to-life testimonials hit and hit hard. Be it whiskey, men, god or alienation, Lydia takes them all on; they may kick, but she kicks back harder. Album Tracks 1. Bad Way to Go 2. Can't Change Me 3. More Like Them 4. How Many Women 5.
