Our Take

If you thought Americana was all about banjos and bittersweet tales of heartache, think again. Rachel Baiman's latest album, "Common Nation Of Sorrow," proves that this genre can be both thought-provoking and toe-tapping.

Baiman's delicate yet powerful vocals guide us through a landscape of haunting melodies and razor-sharp lyrics. The opening track, "Shame," sets the tone with its raw honesty and stripped-back production. It's like a punch in the gut, but in a strangely satisfying way.

As the album unfolds, we're treated to a masterclass in storytelling. Baiman tackles themes of injustice, love, and resilience with a deft touch that never feels preachy or heavy-handed. Tracks like "Jokes on Me" and "Wicked Spell" showcase her versatility as a songwriter and musician.

But it's not all doom and gloom. Baiman injects a healthy dose of wit and humour into her songs, making them as fun to listen to as they are thought-provoking. "I Could've Been Your Lover Too" is a prime example, with its cheeky lyrics and infectious groove.

Overall, "Common Nation Of Sorrow" is a triumph for Baiman and a must-listen for anyone craving music with substance. It's a reminder that Americana can be both serious and playful, heartbreaking and uplifting. In short, it's a gem of an album that deserves a spot in your music collection.
