From The Highwomen to Cam—here are the 10 best country and Americana songs to hear now
ALYSSE GAFKJEN
Eileen Jewell’s lyrically rich “79 Cents,” Miranda Lambert’s new “Bluebird,” and Lady Antebellum guitarist Slim Gambill’s jazzy numbers journey “54321” make up this week’s list of the best country and Americana songs.A tribute to an old neighbor who’s “pretty as a flower [and] tough as saddle leather,” Jamie Lin Wilson’s “Alice” tells the story of a tough Texas woman who farms the bottomlands.
Inspired by modern-day sexism and inequality, “79 Cents ” blends satire with scathing indictments. The song’s mix of gypsy jazz and old-timey folk music goes down easy, but it’s Jewell’s clever writing — particularly her final verse, where she references President Trump’s comments about grabbing women’s genitals — that delivers the knockout blow, adding substance to a song that’s also rich in old-world style.
