Level-Headed Even Smile
Dylan Earl
While you may have gotten distracted by those trying to make “y’all-ternative” a thing (it’s really, really not a thing, guys), troubadours like Dylan Earl are out there keeping ye olde traditions alive and making some new ones along the way.
On his third album Level-Headed Even Smile, the Ozarkian by way of Louisiana delivers ten tracks that feel as at home in the heyday of outlaw (or ‘90s) country as they do in a post-Sturgill/Ameripolitan landscape. Songs like the title track and “Little Rock Bottom” provide oodles of boot-scooting fun, while ”Outlaw Country” addresses the increasingly rapid creep of fascism in the land of the free. Broken hearts (“Broken Parts”), free-wheeling drunks (“Lawn Chair”), and more make Level-Headed Even Smile one of the best times you’re likely to have at the honky-tonk this year. — Kevin
