This new live offering by this Americana artist is filled with her husky, smoky voice that is both, in your face and vulnerable as the situation calls, on occasion simultaneously. Each song is a vibrant portrait that walks its own path. Her voice is pushed and prodded to be more by her road-hardened band led by the taut solos on guitar and slide guitar by Dave Easley, which sometimes play out like barbed wire stretched so tight it sings with the vibration of the wind. She wrote, or co-wrote, 7 of the 9 songs on the disc, and it very much has an
Indian/western theme running through it as the title’s double entendre suggests. This stunning, and heart felt offering comes convincingly from the heart of this rising star from that nebulous land where soul and outlaw country intersect with early Rock n’ Roll.
