Tift Merritt
Comment:
Want to know Tift Merritt's secret recipe in her evolution from alt-country gal to soulful siren? Add one part Dolly Parton to two parts Dusty Springfield and shake well for an all-American blend of country, pop, and classic R&B. From Merritt's gospel-fired give-and-take with her testifying backing singers to the sunset-over-Memphis brass blasts, the spirit of Aretha runs through the slow-burning "Good Hearted Man." The North Carolina songbird courts the modern-country crowd with the shimmering steel guitar, twang-tinged wail, and down-home locomotion of "Broken." And when the Southern belle brings her pleading pipes to the Stax-like stomp of "Tell Me Something True," those organ trills, pumping drums, and sweet, swelling horns sound like they're calling the country/soul-slinger home. In other words, we've got all you need to get the lowdown on this rising star of Americana right here.
