Sierra Ferrell Long Time Coming LP

TAS Rated 4/5 Music, 4/5 Sonics in the January 2022 Issue of The Absolute Sound!

With her spellbinding voice and time-bending sensibilities, Sierra Ferrell makes music that's as fantastically vagabond as the artist herself. On her highly anticipated Rounder debut Long Time Coming, Ferrell shares a dozen songs beautifully unbound by genre or era, instantly transporting her audience to an infinitely more enchanted world.

Meet West Virginia's Sierra Ferrell, now in Nashville and newly signed to Rounder. She's been wandering the country busking and adventuring, and she's got a tremendous voice that's joyously lilting, and at once vintage and contemporary. She sings with abandon, with a huge repertoire that spans jazz, country and cowboy music, with undertones of the blues.

In addition to a standout voice and catchy, jangling riffs that speak to music lovers, Ferrell has an edge to her that demands you take notice. A quiet confidence paired with an internal poetic darkness that grabs you from the sea of talented Americana artists flooding the scene. Ferrell is a timeless artist that is perfect for this time.

Sierra Ferrell etches vivid colors outside the lines of the Americana palette with verve and charisma ... her vagabond ways bestow her songwriting with a genre-bending sensibility that at times combines a raw mountain music vibe with a jazz flavor. Recorded high in the vibrant mix, Ferrell's distinct voice recalls Loretta Lynn's hillbilly grit and Dolly Parton's unvarnished soprano... Hard country nuggets such as 'Jeremiah' and 'In Dreams' already resonate like beloved standards, but it's Ferrell's diversity of sound and wild spirit that sets her apart from her peers.
