Sarah Shook & the Disarmers

When Sidelong, Sarah Shook & the Disarmers debut album, was released in early 2017, it quickly earned kudos for its blast of fresh, fierce honesty and sly wit. It was a welcome new voice in a genre too often mired in the staid and conventional. And while that record may have come to many as a surprise, Years solidifies the point: Sarah Shook & the Disarmers have moved from getting peoples attention to commanding it. The albumwith its sharpened songwriting, unique perspective, deepened sound and roll-up-your-sleeves attitudewill grab you by the collar and put a defiant finger to your chest. It is resolute, blunt, and unflinching.

At its pounding heart, Years crackles with a pointedly contemporary and relevant take on the outlaw spirit. Built around the buoyant pedal steel of Phil Sullivan, and the post-punk rattle and Live at San Quentin hum of Eric Petersons guitar, there are echoes of Nikki Lane and Merle Haggard as much as Ty Segall. Its home is the ragged-but-real honky tonk, not the bro-country honky tonk. The barroom singalong New Ways to Fail is classic, smile-through-the-pain country. Damned If I Do could be the Drivin Nails in My Coffin of the 21st century, if we let it; a perfect song for rolling in the wry and sneaking in a quick two-step. The sinister The Bottle Never Lets Me Down will get anyone whos ever been wronged righteously flipping the bird as they knock back the next shot. Therapy in the face of personal devastation takes many forms, after all.
