Just one listen but this is very good -- not as immediate/hooky as Saint Cloud, but a more mature sound, more penetrating lyrics, and may well be a better album....time will tell. Lead singles were my favorite -- "Right Back to It" and "Bored" are stunners -- but the comedown in the last four tracks or so ("Crowbar," "The Wolves") also grabbed me.

I am such a sucker for a good male/female harmony and this record's got a bunch of them

Loving it so far but not ready to compare to St Cloud, which would be unfair. That album was a grower and I expect this one will be too. But first listen, every song is a winner.

Kind of annoyed that this is out today, but Anti says they aren't shipping the copy I pre-ordered three months ago until April 5th.

Female-fronted country rock is having a moment, huh? Alternative/Indie's got Wednesday, Ratboys, Waxahatchee, Hurray for the Riff Raff, Big Thief. Pop's got Kacey and now even Beyonce. Thrilling time to be a fan.

Plus all the Margos and Maggies and Morgans, etc

Can't find a reasonable explanation for why this hasn't clicked with me yet
"Right Back to It" is a massive tune, but the rest of the album---I'm still waiting

Damn Wynonna Judd and Lucinda Williams both came out for the encore last night at The Ryman. Judd did "Love is Alive" and Williams did "Abandoned". Videos here:
