Sarabeth Tucek - Get Well Soon

Sarabeth Tucek - Called "the new comedown queen" by Time Out London, the New York singer/songwriter delivers a devastating musical treatise on grief following the death of her father and a couple years of personal issues - drinking, car wrecks, jail time - that arose after her well-received debut album (co-produced by Ethan Johns and Luther Russell) // Release: Get Well Soon (May 24) // Sounds like: deep, dark and riddled with melancholy, Get Well Soon's dozen songs have an even greater impact thanks to a voice that's practically swimming in tears -- the sadness and sorrowful resignation is beautifully rendered even as the music's tension is pulled taut // Quote: "I feel like I’m either the patient or the doctor, somebody always has an ache...The title is a reminder to keep myself well. It’s hard to explain the ferocity of the grief I experienced when my father died. I really felt like it was going to kill me, so to be here... well, I just wanted to remind myself of what I survived.” // What we like: the raw immediacy of the recordings, a highlight of tracks from the Neil Young-meets-Chrissie Hynde "Wooden" and "The State That I'm In" to the more intimate acoustic moments of "The Doctor" and "Get Well Soon"...
