Rising American singer-songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews releases her new album Honest Life in Europe on Loose Music. She is perhaps currently best known for being Damien Jurado’s lead guitarist...

If you're a fan of Country music then there's a lot to appreciate here. However, this goes above and beyond the standard Country remit, what Courtney Marie Andrews delivers here are 10 (36 min, 39 sec) intricate and very personal songs which come from the heart.

There's a little bit of Country, a twist of Folk and a lot of feeling poured into this album. Andrews's range is wide and her writing here is diverse - the track '15 Highway Lines' sums up everything that's great about Honest Life.

If slow, deeply emotional Country is your thing, then you really should pick this up.
