Search - The Laws :: Ride It Out

""Ride It Out"" is noticeably lacking any false notes in its compelling original songs, empathetic musicianship and emotionally charged vocal performances by John and Michele Law. Smooth country folk powers the album opening Am I Still the One, winner of the General Category of the 2007 Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at MerleFest; Put Some Love Into It is a jazz-tinged frolic keyed by Micheles saucy vocal; the guitar-mandolin instrumental Texacadia is a Nickel Creek-style display of assured, hot pickin; the classic country-tinged Too Lonesome to Cry features lyrics as simple, direct and devastating as the Steve Earle of Valentines Day and Hometown Blues; and, to close things out, Getting Over You is a bopping little folk-flavored ditty that evinces an ironic, Steve Goodman-like sense of the absurd in its account of someone doing everything but getting over a lost love.
