Kristina Murray- Unravelin’
by John Christen
Kristina Murray’s debut effort, Unravelin’, is a stellar compilation of honky-tonk country. Songs of remorse, heartache, drinking, and soul-searching accompany a full band complete with a steel guitar, fiddle, piano, electric and acoustic guitar. Unravelin’ offers southern hospitality and Murray incorporates elements of fellow Georgia native Alan Jackson and Nashville-style country.
The two-stepping “Nothing But Wrong” has a pleasant melody and a likeable sound. “Rough Corners,” is a jaunty foreboding premonition with a driving beat and strong acoustic guitar picking. Murray showcases her sterling vocals as she laments the loss of a lover in “The Year Georgia Ran Dry” and “Lights Out for the Lonesome. Recorded at Stout Studios in Fort Collins, Unravelin’, will be released at SHINE Restaurant and Gathering Place in Boulder on November 7th.
