Meet Audra Mae who just dropped her first album “The Happiest Lamb”. While she may be the grandniece of Judy Garland, musically she’s more akin to Nancy Sinatra, Leslie Gore and Wanda Jackson. And I’m not just saying that as a comparison. No, the songs on “The Happiest Lamb” can very well stand on their own two feet next to those other women’s material.
The well thought out arrangements and warm backup vocals are very good but ultimately only serve to make Mae’s voice shine even more. Whether it’s the upbeat title song or the gently trickling country shuffle that is “The River”, this is an album that comes highly recommended if you’re even remotely into the sound that is Americana.
Score: 8 out of 10
