Album Review: ‘Faster Than A Bullet’ By Plumb

By on March 14, 2013 in Album & Song Reviews

Plumb

What can I say except that from the moment I first heard Plumb I found her music mesmerizing.  Beautiful, strong, almost otherworldly voice matched with songs that touch you deep inside and move you.  You’ll hear lots of string instruments mixed with her signature keyboard-driven music.  Sometimes dark, slightly-edgy, poetic, and melodic songs that are a mix of radio-friendly pop & alternative rock.   Her music always moves me.  I think Plumb is one of the most talented artists out there and highly-underated.  She should be winning GRAMMY’s for her music.

Ashley Monroe celebrated her solo record, Like A Rose, debuting Top-10 today on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart while performing at the SXSW music festival in Austin, TX. Monroe performed to an excited crowd at the MTV/VH1/CMT Edge Stage two days ago, where the Los Angeles Times raved that the “gifted country singer from Tennessee…brought an audience…to a respectful hush with her song ‘Used.’” People Magazine also recently gave Like A Rose 3 ½ of 4 stars, naming Monroe their Buzz Artist of the Week and noting that her “thorn-sharp wit – and country traditionalism – also bloom on…Rose,” while the Wall Street Journal compares Monroe to country greats saying, “Monroe’s songs prove as matter-of-factly direct and daring in today’s as Loretta Lynn’s were in the 1960s.” SPIN Magazine also proclaims Ashley Monroe’s Like A Rose as one of its essential new albums, giving it 9 of 10 stars and Paste Magazine truthfully states that “Like A Rose is no fairy tale.”

“I am completely surprised and overwhelmed by the response to my album,” said Ashley when asked of her achievements. “Thank you guys for always sticking by me and never giving up. We did it!!”
