Delving into Rusty Reid is like taking a trip into the best American songwriting tradition. You see, championing a long career, Reid explores the highs and lows of life in fragile, relatable and comfortable country-pop gems, often built on soothing, acoustic arrangements and clear-cut vocals. Emerging from Seattle while originally being from Texas, Rusty has been around the block a fair bit, reinforcing his measured, sapient and welcoming views on the complex social landscape of today’s America.
‘Our Love’s With You’ is Reid’s latest effort, an acoustic, elegant and melodic gem built over stunning guitars and piano vibes. Crowning it all, we find the songwriter’s evocative vocals, well balanced and precise. Echoing the best folk and country voices from the 60s and 70s, Rusty manages to deliver a tone that feels friendly and warm, the perfect recipe for our tumultuous era.
Lyrically, ‘Our Love’s With You’ celebrated its author’s sister’s graduation from high school, and her leaving for college. The perfect sendoff.
