Katy Moffatt
Loose Diamond
Press
On past albums, Texas native Katy Moffatt has tended to camouflage her flair for hard-country hurtin' songs beneath a familiar acoustic-folk veneer. Loose Diamond brings Moffatt's country leanings front and center without ignoring her broader folk, rock, and blues influences. Producer Dave Alvin has assembled a first-rate West Coast roots-country studio crew, including members of his own Guilty Men and Dwight Yoakam's band. Moffatt's voice sounds equally at home on Hank Williams Jr.'s honky-tonk howler "Stoned at the Jukebox" and on a slowed-down arrangement of the Blasters' roots-rocker "So Long Baby Goodbye." But the standout track is a duet with Alvin on the traditional folk standard "The Cuckoo" that benefits from Greg Leisz's raise-up-the-dead slide-guitar playing.
