The acclaimed New Zealand country singer returns with a triumphant fifth album including a duet with Willie Nelson, her strong, beautiful, dramatic delivery echoing the emotive power of Patsy Cline. With shimmering, twangy guitars and lush orchestration, her songs feel like the soundtrack to a western movie with stunning, scenery right from the beginning with the title track, followed by more stripped back, but perky, sassy, handclap-backed number Careless Woman. Baby You’re A Gun is a slower, smoking number with classic whistle and steel guitar intro. Willie Nelson joins her the romantic Spanish guitar-decorated Beyond The Stars, and the album rolls onwards with consistently strong recordings, particularly the soaring I Can Forget, and the superbly stompy, wildcat growl of closing track Ain’t My Job. Timeless, classy and sumptuous. Out on Outside Music.
