Amy Sheppard’s CV may be steeped in shiny pop/rock thanks to her family band Sheppard—who found early international fame with the 2014 hit “Geronimo”—but the blue-haired singer-songwriter feels right at home singing country on her debut solo album. She pre-emptively hushes doubters on the opening title track, an assured chronicle of giving up city life for something truer to her spirit. The track doubles as a reminder of how naturally powerful Sheppard’s voice is, but it’s able to slip into more reserved ballads too. And despite the presence of fiddle and the lyrical focus on rustic living—she observes the good and the bad, respectively, of tight-knit communities on “Country Country” and “Small Town Rumours”—there are still plenty of lingering pop elements. Most tracks split the difference between the two worlds, with an added dose of warm nostalgia via the 1980s soft-rock sway of “Fool Outta Me” and the Bryan Adams-esque power pop of “Losing You.” This is a satisfying foray into the genre for Sheppard, without neglecting her key strengths.
