plA-listers Country Crew Vol. 2 Reviewed by Christina Vox of vox+ stix

The Parting by Samantha Grimes is a song that immediately makes you sit up and take notice. A timbre and phrasing reminiscent of Alanis Morrisette and instrumentation that brings Aimee Mann and the Magnolia soundtrack to mind, with some Lou Reed thrown in for good measure, make this a track that defies genre categorization. Grimes has a terrific voice, supple, sensual, and gritty all at once. If you think this song is cool — and it is — check out how she plays guitar!
