Song Review/ Country : Janet Devlin’s ‘Houston’
Janet Devlin is on her way to being an iconic Nashville star. With her authentic and raw charisma, she brings a refreshing energy to country folk music in a way that is reminiscent of the greats, the classics like Dolly Parton. Her latest release is ‘Not My First Emotional Rodeo (Deluxe)’ album, a collection that perfectly captures the artist’s love for songwriting and celebrates her performative passion. Taken from this collection is ‘Houston’ a track that is bare, gritty, chunky and so country. Add some blues, and a mellow spaghetti western plane, and you’ve got yourself a full fledged, fabulous rodeo.
Banjo melodies running through the soundscapes, building beats, and a gritty vocal personality that energizes and ties everything together. Her vocal timbre is reminiscent of Miley Cyrus, that low, gruff yet expressive sound that instantly compels. There’s mystery in her voice, experience, and a whole journey that you can take contained in it. Listen Now!
