MP3 At 3PM: Lydia Loveless

2011 was a good year for stunning female voices in roots-country music, what with Zoe Muth, Rachel Brooke and Lydia Loveless dropping killer albums. What’s interesting is that both Brooke and Loveless come from a background in punk rock, which, at least for Loveless, might account for her tough-as-nails delivery and ass-kicking vocals. While the tracks on her Bloodshot Records album, Indestructible Machine, hover close to mainstream country at times, there’s a hard edge to her music that just can’t be bought. Songs like “Can’t Change Me” and “Jesus Was A Wino” marry a punk-rock middle finger with a burnin’ country sound. Now she’s touring in 2012 with labelmate Scott H. Biram? Talk about a perfect match. Fingers crossed that these two will drop an album together soon!
