I have to thank Ryan at WMSE for introducing me to Those Darlins, who release their self-titled album today. Since introduction, it’s been in heavy rotation. Hailing from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, this trio combines the greatness of Wanda Jackson and Patsy Cline in a present day package. These gals continue the lineage of country greats that didn’t jump on the pop express, but instead stuck with the whiskey-soaked ballads and tales of heartbreak. It’s a package that, when done right, is an easy sell every time for me. A couple listens and you’ll be sold too.
