Canadian Folk / Country duo Kacy & Clayton are prolific to say the least. And consistent. Consistently damned good that is. Carrying On, is their third album in four years, and their third since 2016's brilliant, Strange Country, which landed up sixth in the It Starts With a Birthstone end of year Album of the Year list.
Carrying On is a case of, 'if a thing ain't broke why fix it', not that anybody who has ever enjoyed any previous Kacy & Clayton record will be complaining about that. Short, sweet tunes with an Appalachian twinge. vocals shared between Kacy Anderson and Clayton Linthicum, (though she takes the lion's share), loving crafted and embroidered like a top of the range buckskin jacket.
Anderson has a rich nuanced voice reminiscent of Loretta Lynn, Emmylou or Margo Timmins. The musical setting is exquisitely rendered. Carrying On carries on in the best possible way. Another quite immaculate offering.
