Style: Honky Tonk Americana

Right away, this appealing husband and wife team impress us with a twangy sound that’s the definition of classic country honkytonk. Prominent in every song are the duo’s voices, which possess an incredible amount of character. “Heart of Stone” sounds perfect, with terrific pickin’ and pedal steel all around as the couple take turns leading the charge. We appreciate Willie’s bottomless baritone while Kira emits an unflinching amount of grit. “Even When” is a real stomper, with amusing lyrics and a nice contribution from the banjo. “Die Right Here” is set to a downtempo pace, a lazy, laidback twang that mirrors the singer’s attitude/resolution about his life—“I’m gonna die right here in my hometown.”  Sign ‘em up!
