Sierra Ferrell meshes disparate styles with impressive ease on 'Long Time Coming,' her winding road of a debut album. Read agracru's review:
, and come out the other side with only the haziest idea who she is, and that’s okay. The state of not knowing is all the more reason to absorb the album’s countless influences, the varying wavelengths on which each track exists, and the way the record’s dexterity tells us all we really need to know about Ferrell as a musician: She’s the sum of her journeys around the U.S., from New Orleans to Seattle, not easily defined and impossible to pigeonhole. Also, she’s very talented. That matters, too.
: It’s there on “Why’d Ya Do It,” too. “My love for you’s a deep blue ocean, baby / I just wanna swim inside,” Ferrell hums on the very first verse, determining later on that she ought to find someone “who won’t tear my world apart.” This is a fundamental subject in country, roots music, folk and Americana, the old stereotype people with no fondness and lots of contempt for all these genres like to foist on them.
Swirling waves make a vivid, foreboding counterpoint to the considerably more inviting backdrop of balmy summer days, or the fiery geography Ferrell evokes on songs like “Far Away Across the Sea” and “Why’d You Do It” by incorporating elements of mariachi music into her songwriting: Up-tempo, staccato guitar-picking is accompanied by emphatic trumpet blares, songs to dance to with passion and fervor.
