Our Take
Our Take
Ruston Kelly's debut album "Dying Star" is one rollercoaster of a ride through heartbreak and redemption. The Nashville singer-songwriter perfectly captures the raw emotion of love gone wrong, with a sound that blends Americana with a touch of rock and roll swagger.
From the haunting opening track "Cover My Tracks" to the reflective "Blackout," Kelly's gravelly voice draws you in and doesn't let go. The lyrics are honest and poignant, touching on themes of loss, addiction, and ultimately, hope.
Tracks like "Son of a Highway Daughter" and "Mockingbird" showcase Kelly's storytelling prowess, painting vivid pictures of love and longing. The instrumentation is rich and layered, with lush harmonies and twangy guitars that add depth to each song.
But it's not all doom and gloom - tracks like "Faceplant" and "Jericho" bring a sense of fun and playfulness to the album, showing Kelly's versatility as an artist.
Overall, "Dying Star" is a stunning debut that solidifies Ruston Kelly as a force to be reckoned with in the alt-country scene. It's a must-listen for anyone who appreciates heartfelt lyrics and soul-stirring melodies. Don't miss out on this rising star - Ruston Kelly is here to stay.
