Sarah Shook & The Disarmers "Sidelong" LP (Vinyl, Bloodshot Records, 2017)
North Carolina's Sarah Shook sings with a conviction and hard honesty
sorely lacking in much of today's Americana landscape. Always
passionate, and at times profane, Sarah stalks/walks the line between
vulnerable and menacing. You can hear in her voice what's she's seen;
world weary, hard lessons learned-or not-but always defiant. She
level-steady means what she says. The Disarmers, with their snarling
boom-chicka-boom guitars and an Old 97's swing in the rhythm section,
keep it in the pocket. Tight and tough. Sidelong rides in the middle
seat, before seat belts, of a '77 Buick Riviera blasting down a dirt
road. Rowdy punk rock sneer to the right, a bottle in a bag; organic
country three chords and the truth honesty on the left-one eye in the
rear view mirror and one eye on the rough road ahead. It's a hell of a
ride. Writing with a sense of urgency-so refreshing these days it's
almost startling, Sarah's lyrics are in turn smart, funny, mean and
above all honest. Sly turns of phrase so spot on they feel as old and
true as the hymnal. Anger that's confrontational as it is concise. Humor
that's as wry and resigned as a fallen sage's.
