Listen to When The Trouble’s All Done
The folk troubadour and Nashville resident Ellie Turner recorded these 10 tracks live to tape, and it showcases her vintage version of song craft that welcomes Jack Schneider, Wes Langlois and Jared Manzo to the thoughtful listen.
“One More Day” starts the affair with Langlois’ warm harmonica, as Turner’s inimitable and sweet voice guides the heartfelt climate, and “The ‘I Love You’ Song” follows with breezy acoustic guitar complementing the romantic wordplay that possesses much beauty.
“A Little Farther Down The Line” occupies the middle spot, and finds an intimate place to reside with Turner’s breathy voice alongside gentle guitar, while “Katabatic” benefits much from Schneider’s melodic guitar and voice that pairs well with Turner’s absorbing pipes and gorgeous vocal harmonies.
Close to the end, “Holyoke” offers a bare and poetic delivery of timeless folk sounds, and “When The Trouble’s All Done” exits with a lullaby-esque demeanor of gracefulness and coziness that’s universally embraceable.
A hushed listen that often seems like Turner is playing just for you and in your presence, together with her esteemed help she makes music that anyone with an ear for folk from any era will enjoy.
