Product Description

Album Description

"The Most accomplished new American female singer-songwriter to emerge in a decade" - Uncut

Another Country was written by Tift Merritt, produced by George Drakoulias, and recorded by David Bianco. The players include guitarists Charlie Sexton and Doug Pettibone and Tift's longtime band, Zeke Hutchins (drums), Jay Brown (bass) and Danny Eisenberg (keyboards). As the title might suggest, her inspiration comes from Country, but the depth of Tift's songwriting goes way beyond the usual scope of that genre, drawing comparison with some of the best singer-songwriters America has produced.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Country...? Another Winner!, 9 Mar 2008
By IWFIcon - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Another Country doesn't actually refer to some kind of re-inventing of Country Music (or Americana in it's other guise) but to the fact that how, in a time of personal turmoil, Tift Merritt emigrated to France. The problems aren't quantified in any great detail, but its clear that the Tift Merritt of her third album is more disillusioned and introspective than the Tift Merritt of her earlier albums.

And whilst one wouldn't wish to inflict such emotional pain onto anyone, it is clear that these problems have gone some way to raising her music up to another level.

There are a handful of up-tempo numbers, Tell Me Something True, with it's Mowton-esque backing is one such highlight, but most of the album is a more subdued affair. It's none the less compelling for all that though. It's an album that practically aches with sorrow, but never in a wallowing way. Indeed with a scant listen, most listeners would probably miss most of the lyrical content and just be pleased with what is a very listenable album.

This is an album which benefits from a few repeated spins. Slowly Merritt draws you in, deeper into the emotional content of the album. Her voice is warm, inviting and soulful and is difficult to resist.

After 2003's Tambourine album some might fell that the production is a little too light on this one, but that's a minor concern to say the least. Another Country may not grab a Grammy Nomination for Best Country Album like it's predecessor did, but it's no less a winner of an album.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Difficult Third Album, 6 Mar 2008
Tift Merritt is a feisty lady who looks like she means business when she plays live (witness, her Live in Austin Texas DVD). Her first two albums held a lot of promise, especially Tambourine, which had in 'Stray Paper' a song with a hook, a riff and a neat turn of phrase that portended future riches to come. Another Country doesn't quite deliver that promise, but opts to play things a bit safe. It starts with 3 great songs, 'Something To Me', 'Broken' and 'Another Country', but from thereon in it all becomes a little too polite and risk free. The album closes with a whimper rather than a bang when the lady comes on all Carla Bruni, and tries her hand at an incongruous bit of French chanson. Tift Merritt has a great voice, writes all her own songs and looks good, and you desperately want her to veer more into Lucinda Williams Americana territory rather than drifting into airbrushed Nashville anonymity. Another Country is in danger of fulfilling its title; but just avoids it at the last minute through having a bit more class. Let's hope album 4 steers her back towards the more ballsy work she is clearly capable of.

It's business as usual for Tift Merritt on this her third album. Unlike 'tambourine', which i felt was just too obvious in its ambition to crack the mainstream, 'Another Country'... Read more

Now here's a really cynical ploy by someone to make you buy this great CD again - add five bonus tracks!! Mugs like me probably will though.
