Dawn Landes - Dawns Music Straight Lines
Review by Ray Burns
Dawn Landes' latest album, "Straight Lines," is a masterful blend of folk, pop, and indie rock that showcases her versatility as a songwriter and musician. The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Love Song," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. Landes' voice is sweet and clear, but also possesses a hint of vulnerability that adds depth to her lyrics.
The album's title track, "Straight Lines," is a standout moment. The song's driving beat and soaring chorus make it an instant earworm, but it's the lyrics that really resonate. Landes sings about the struggle to find meaning in a world that often seems chaotic and confusing, and her words are both heartfelt and relatable.
Other highlights include "Why They Name Whiskey After Men," a wistful ballad about lost love, and "Wind and Rain," a haunting track that showcases Landes' skill as a storyteller. Throughout the album, Landes' songwriting is consistently strong, and her arrangements are both inventive and tasteful.
