  • Description

    If Austins happily egalitarian music scene suddenly switched to a monarchy, Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis might have to learn to perform while balancing hefty crowns. The two already reign as one of Americana musics coolest couples, and their latest release, Our Year, elevates them closer to the lofty territory once occupied by beloved royals Johnny 'n' June and George 'n' Tammy.

    Working again in Nashville with producer Brad Jones (Cheater's Game), they delivered their musical thoughts in 10 outstanding tracks, from formidable originals to well-honed covers including a knockout version of the Tom T. Hall-penned Harper Valley PTA. Jeannie C. Rileys 1968 hit sounds like a classic all over again in the hands of this pair and the chicken-pickin, mandolin-plucking, shaker-grooving players who back them on this tart tale.


    The desire to capture that live dynamic their swampier, grittier side drove the creation of Our Year, Willis says. Robison calls their style a modern take on classic country music, without being retro.
