Our Take

Shovels & Rope's latest album "Swimmin' Time" is a rollercoaster ride through the muddy waters of Americana. This husband-and-wife duo have once again delivered a collection of tunes that are as raw and gritty as a moonshine-soaked hoedown in the Deep South.

The album kicks off with the hauntingly beautiful "The Devil is All Around," a toe-tapping track that sets the tone for what's to come. Cary Ann Hearst's whiskey-soaked vocals are a perfect match for Michael Trent's gravelly tones, creating a harmonious blend that is equal parts sweet and badass.

Tracks like "Evil" and "Ohio" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly transition from foot-stomping rockers to tender ballads, while "Fish Assassin" is a twangy romp through the darker side of country music.

But it's the album's title track that truly shines, with its dreamy melodies and introspective lyrics. "Swimmin' Time" is a slow-burner that builds to a crescendo, leaving you breathless and wanting more.

Overall, Shovels & Rope have once again proven why they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of Americana music. "Swimmin' Time" is a masterclass in songwriting and storytelling, with enough heart and soul to keep you coming back for more. So grab a whisky, put on your dancing shoes, and dive into this swampy masterpiece - you won't be disappointed.
