BLUE CACTUS MUSIC WINDOWS

Windows down, radio up, you can almost feel the wheels spin as a worried man leaves his troubles in the wind. вЂњWorried ManвЂќ trades the ethereal for the open road without losing the heart at the core of a Blue Cactus song. At once sad yet soothing, вЂњCome CleanвЂќ cleanses the lonesome country soul. вЂњI didnвЂ™t want to be your fighter, вЂtil you put me in the ring, now I just want to come clean,вЂќ she finishes over a flourish of sacred steel. вЂњI think itвЂ™s about time I come cleanвЂ¦ вЂcause IвЂ™ve been becoming everybody, I never wanted to be,вЂќ Stewart sings sweetly about dissatisfaction. Of the three, however, вЂњCome CleanвЂќ carries the emotional weight of the record. The title track, вЂњCome CleanвЂќ, and вЂњRodeo QueenвЂњ most fully embrace Blue CactusвЂ™s hypnotic ideal as Steph StewartвЂ™s voice blends with Whit WrightвЂ™s pedal steel and melds into Mario ArnezвЂ™s high lonesome harmonies. Wide open sounds and sonic vistas populate Stranger Again while spiraling vocals and a prominent pedal steel harken to the original king and queen of cosmic American music вЂ“ Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris.

Written mostly from a remote, creekside cabin, these songs solidify LovetteвЂ™s role as a versatile harmonica-wielding wordsmith, effortlessly drifting between the formulas of folk, indie, and homestyle roots music. Two years after his noteworthy debut, Swift Drifter, Lovette brings forth his sophomore record Scatter & Gather, a collection of songs that signal an undeniable shift in the gravity of his writing and arranging.

The tale of wayfaring songwriter Shay Martin LovetteВ is shaped by an enduring creative pursuit, an inseparable connection with the natural world, and a deep appreciation of the nonpareil musical voices of the past. Throughout Stranger Again, they explore loss and longing, self-love and reckoning with personal, political and human struggles.

The otherworldliness of the music is a perfect contrast to their distinctly grounded, human storytelling lyrics. Stranger Again is a deep dive into Cosmic American music, with the band taking their sound into ambitious new planes, where country-rock meets light psychedelia as the soaring vocals meet twangy slide-guitars and propulsive bass-lines. The album has received enthusiastic attention from tastemakers including No Depression, American Songwriter, FLOOD Magazine, Talkhouse, and INDY Week among others. Blue Cactus, the North Carolina duo of Steph Stewart and Mario Arnez, make Cosmic Americana: a blend of grit, glitz, groove, and twang that evokes a celestial soundscape of mid-century heartbreak.ДЇollowing their critically acclaimed 2017 debut and a string of singles in 2020 their evolution is made plain on their sophomore LP, Stranger Again, released on Sleepy Cat Records.
