Clifford has been listening and is with 10 00:00:56,653 --> 00:00:57,133 Speaker 4: us this morning. 11 00:00:57,173 --> 00:01:01,853 Speaker 5: Hey, how Hello, what a cool sound. Yeah, it's called 12 00:01:01,933 --> 00:01:05,493 Speaker 5: Sister and it is sung with her sisters, the Mitchell Twins, 13 00:01:06,413 --> 00:01:08,693 Speaker 5: who she also gets to go on tour and perform with. 14 00:01:09,013 --> 00:01:11,933 Speaker 5: And it's just that beautiful. I mean I've said it 15 00:01:11,973 --> 00:01:15,053 Speaker 5: many many times before, but the old sibling or family 16 00:01:15,213 --> 00:01:19,093 Speaker 5: harmonies that goes ah. Their voice is just rock. And 17 00:01:19,093 --> 00:01:23,173 Speaker 5: we're just embracing all things country because that's where we're at, 18 00:01:23,213 --> 00:01:27,093 Speaker 5: a like, the country music world is just skyrocketing off 19 00:01:27,133 --> 00:01:30,253 Speaker 5: the planet and curedos to that here in New Zealand 20 00:01:30,253 --> 00:01:34,013 Speaker 5: because we've always had some incredible stars doing country music. 21 00:01:34,133 --> 00:01:37,013 Speaker 5: And Jenny Mitchell is definitely one of those people who 22 00:01:37,093 --> 00:01:42,933 Speaker 5: is leading away beautiful song harmonizing, amazing natural pairing. It's just, yeah, 23 00:01:42,973 --> 00:01:45,253 Speaker 5: it's wonderful. This is a really cool body of work 24 00:01:45,253 --> 00:01:48,333 Speaker 5: for her. I follow Jenny right from the beginning, and 25 00:01:48,373 --> 00:01:51,613 Speaker 5: I think in this album she's really honed her craft. 26 00:01:51,973 --> 00:01:55,813 Speaker 5: She's honed her storytelling, and again that's what country music is, right. Yeah, 27 00:01:56,053 --> 00:02:00,213 Speaker 5: just wonderful lyrics, but not so many. I don't think 28 00:02:00,293 --> 00:02:02,853 Speaker 5: she does the country cliche things so much. I think 29 00:02:02,893 --> 00:02:06,213 Speaker 5: she's quite clever with what she does. And I really 30 00:02:06,293 --> 00:02:08,533 Speaker 5: like that because at first you were taken away with 31 00:02:08,573 --> 00:02:12,053 Speaker 5: the beautiful maladies and the beautiful guitar strumming and there's 32 00:02:12,093 --> 00:02:17,173 Speaker 5: banjo in there, just melodically it's so beautiful. But then 33 00:02:17,213 --> 00:02:19,853 Speaker 5: you start sinking into those lyrics and they're clever and 34 00:02:19,853 --> 00:02:22,173 Speaker 5: they're really great. There's a great song on here actually 35 00:02:22,173 --> 00:02:24,653 Speaker 5: called Daffodils, and it's kind of about the passing of 36 00:02:24,693 --> 00:02:27,133 Speaker 5: time and the passage of time, and it's actually a 37 00:02:27,213 --> 00:02:30,253 Speaker 5: jeweyt she does with her dad and he is sounding 38 00:02:30,253 --> 00:02:32,933 Speaker 5: all Johnny Cash on it. Yeah, Like I was like, Wow, 39 00:02:33,013 --> 00:02:36,013 Speaker 5: this guy's got an incredible voice. One of the lines 40 00:02:36,093 --> 00:02:38,493 Speaker 5: is it's hard to live quicker than age. 41 00:02:38,893 --> 00:02:40,333 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and when you know. 42 00:02:40,293 --> 00:02:41,973 Speaker 5: It's a song she's doing with her dad as well, 43 00:02:42,013 --> 00:02:44,693 Speaker 5: it just adds this whole other emotional level. And I 44 00:02:44,693 --> 00:02:47,933 Speaker 5: think that's something she has embraced so beautifully in this album. 45 00:02:48,453 --> 00:02:53,893 Speaker 5: There's a real raw, vulnerable, but emotional connection. Because Forest House, 46 00:02:53,893 --> 00:02:56,533 Speaker 5: she's embracing all the things that have made up her life, 47 00:02:57,373 --> 00:03:00,333 Speaker 5: very connected to her wrote. There's some real rural southern 48 00:03:00,853 --> 00:03:03,573 Speaker 5: kind of picture painting and some of the music that 49 00:03:03,613 --> 00:03:07,573 Speaker 5: you'll hear so just a really cool It starts off 50 00:03:07,613 --> 00:03:10,493 Speaker 5: quite quite chill and quite you know, like that sort 51 00:03:10,533 --> 00:03:12,253 Speaker 5: of chill kind of vibe, but we get into some 52 00:03:12,293 --> 00:03:15,493 Speaker 5: real upbeat tempost sort of stuff in some real country 53 00:03:15,573 --> 00:03:18,573 Speaker 5: Twain just going to Nashville, you know, in some of 54 00:03:18,573 --> 00:03:20,053 Speaker 5: the songs as well, So it's not you know, I 55 00:03:20,053 --> 00:03:23,573 Speaker 5: think she's really played and enjoyed what she's doing in 56 00:03:23,573 --> 00:03:27,573 Speaker 5: the album, and you'll really hear it's some fabulous, just 57 00:03:27,733 --> 00:03:30,773 Speaker 5: real imagery I think with her lyrics, really take yourself 58 00:03:30,813 --> 00:03:32,813 Speaker 5: to a place, which I think is great where the 59 00:03:32,853 --> 00:03:34,373 Speaker 5: water is cold. This is a song you're going to 60 00:03:34,413 --> 00:03:39,093 Speaker 5: play when we finished chading gospel bluesy imagine like a 61 00:03:39,133 --> 00:03:42,373 Speaker 5: slow writhing dance crowd in a smoky basement bar like 62 00:03:42,413 --> 00:03:42,893 Speaker 5: it's got that. 63 00:03:43,893 --> 00:03:45,213 Speaker 4: They're kind of bluesy. 64 00:03:44,813 --> 00:03:47,973 Speaker 5: Country thing about it. Sharp lyrics, real cool vocal play, 65 00:03:48,413 --> 00:03:50,733 Speaker 5: and lots of energy and moonshine. There's plenty of mention 66 00:03:50,813 --> 00:03:52,053 Speaker 5: of moonshine. 67 00:03:51,613 --> 00:03:59,373 Speaker 4: So a few in there, but not it sounds amazing. 68 00:03:59,373 --> 00:04:01,533 Speaker 4: I mean in voices and voices incredible?

It was just very empowering, 78 00:04:23,773 --> 00:04:25,693 Speaker 5: and again, I think that's kind of what country music does. 79 00:04:25,773 --> 00:04:29,253 Speaker 5: That embraces people, and it brings you in and it's 80 00:04:29,253 --> 00:04:31,933 Speaker 5: a family and you feel empowered.
