Angela Autumn - Frontiers Woman (2021)

One of the most exciting debut records of 2021, Angela Autumn's Frontiers Woman expertly meshes traditional folk, country and bluegrass with a modern edge.
After packing her bags and heading to Nashville from her native Pennsylvania, Autumn forged relationships with some of the city's most talented players, including guitarist Nick Harley (S.G. Goodman) and drummer Kate Haldrup (Lilly Hiatt). The result is an engaging and charming mixture of odes to crumbled relationships ("Old Time Lovers"), dives into waves of depression ("Shooter") and the complications of messy love ("Fine Blue Sky") with grace and wisdom. — Lorie Liebig (The Boot/50 Best Albums of 2021)
