It's a song by Billy Martin. He's 4 00:00:38,133 --> 00:00:41,613 Speaker 2: got a brand new album called dog Ed, and our 5 00:00:41,693 --> 00:00:44,613 Speaker 2: music reviewer Estelle Clifford has been listening. She's with us 6 00:00:44,613 --> 00:00:45,013 Speaker 2: this morning. 7 00:00:45,053 --> 00:00:49,093 Speaker 3: Hey, oh Kyowder, Yeah, Billy Martin, what a great listen. 8 00:00:49,213 --> 00:00:51,813 Speaker 3: So the dog Eared thing, I found out why she 9 00:00:51,893 --> 00:00:54,213 Speaker 3: kind of rolled with that. She's someone who turns over 10 00:00:54,253 --> 00:00:57,093 Speaker 3: the corners of books of pages to mark her place 11 00:00:57,493 --> 00:00:59,773 Speaker 3: doing that dog ed thing, which if you've ever borrowed 12 00:00:59,773 --> 00:01:01,853 Speaker 3: a book from the library, you have to like really 13 00:01:01,893 --> 00:01:05,053 Speaker 3: refrain from trying to make yourself self do. But I 14 00:01:05,093 --> 00:01:08,173 Speaker 3: love that it's a real book. She's a real wordsmith, 15 00:01:08,333 --> 00:01:10,893 Speaker 3: and she journals and always has a notebook with her. 16 00:01:11,453 --> 00:01:14,133 Speaker 3: And that song there, feeling, you can kind of get 17 00:01:14,133 --> 00:01:17,133 Speaker 3: that sense of a change of tide, like a sort 18 00:01:17,133 --> 00:01:19,453 Speaker 3: of rolling sort of sound, and it is a change 19 00:01:19,453 --> 00:01:21,573 Speaker 3: of tide for her in respects to how she's done 20 00:01:21,573 --> 00:01:26,493 Speaker 3: this album so predominantly has had that folky girl guitar 21 00:01:26,773 --> 00:01:30,693 Speaker 3: soloist kind of thing going on where making this album 22 00:01:30,853 --> 00:01:33,853 Speaker 3: she had like an open door policy and you'll hear 23 00:01:33,853 --> 00:01:35,973 Speaker 3: it in some of the songs, there's almost a jam 24 00:01:36,053 --> 00:01:40,173 Speaker 3: session sound about it. Yeah, so other musicians came in 25 00:01:40,253 --> 00:01:43,093 Speaker 3: and joined her. The guitar got plugged in, so she's 26 00:01:43,133 --> 00:01:48,053 Speaker 3: gone electric and there's a more full sound about it. 27 00:01:48,053 --> 00:01:51,493 Speaker 3: There's more layering in that song. There. There's like the 28 00:01:51,653 --> 00:01:55,293 Speaker 3: pedal steel guitar, which just has such a cool sound 29 00:01:55,333 --> 00:01:59,813 Speaker 3: to it. There's trumpets and sometimes sometimes I get confused, 30 00:01:59,853 --> 00:02:03,613 Speaker 3: you know, when you hear a muted trumpet sound and 31 00:02:03,653 --> 00:02:05,813 Speaker 3: then you're like, but is it also like a slide guitar. 32 00:02:07,133 --> 00:02:07,493 Speaker 2: I don't know. 33 00:02:07,533 --> 00:02:09,653 Speaker 3: There's kind of like that kind of clever sound and 34 00:02:09,813 --> 00:02:12,813 Speaker 3: hates a really cool percussion. So on Instagram, if you 35 00:02:12,813 --> 00:02:15,413 Speaker 3: get a chance to look at Billy Martin, there she's 36 00:02:15,453 --> 00:02:18,373 Speaker 3: got some of the studio sessions showing off the recording 37 00:02:18,373 --> 00:02:21,013 Speaker 3: of the percussion. And there's like these big they look 38 00:02:21,093 --> 00:02:24,733 Speaker 3: like fire when people go out and do street performing. 39 00:02:24,773 --> 00:02:27,813 Speaker 3: They've got those big fire poles, but it's got like 40 00:02:27,813 --> 00:02:29,533 Speaker 3: the shakers on the end of it to get this 41 00:02:29,653 --> 00:02:33,053 Speaker 3: really big sound. There's these like wooden blocks that are 42 00:02:33,053 --> 00:02:35,853 Speaker 3: all set up in horseshoes and they're tapping it and 43 00:02:35,893 --> 00:02:38,413 Speaker 3: making all So what I love about seeing that kind 44 00:02:38,453 --> 00:02:40,373 Speaker 3: of thing is that. Then you listen to the music 45 00:02:40,373 --> 00:02:42,613 Speaker 3: again and you're like, oh, yeah, I can hear that now, 46 00:02:43,093 --> 00:02:46,853 Speaker 3: like all these really cool, very interesting, sometimes eclectic sort 47 00:02:46,893 --> 00:02:50,613 Speaker 3: of sounds that can come in amongst her really folky, 48 00:02:51,053 --> 00:02:53,693 Speaker 3: cool guitar kind of sound that she's going on. This 49 00:02:53,773 --> 00:02:57,853 Speaker 3: album to me sounds very confident, like she's kind of 50 00:02:57,853 --> 00:03:01,413 Speaker 3: set herself. She's shaking off that feel of childhood and 51 00:03:01,453 --> 00:03:05,053 Speaker 3: youth and she's really moving forward into her adulthood. This 52 00:03:05,173 --> 00:03:07,693 Speaker 3: is someone who's pretty much writing music and releasing music 53 00:03:07,733 --> 00:03:12,333 Speaker 3: such as fourteen. Yeah, so it's been over a decade, 54 00:03:12,453 --> 00:03:12,733 Speaker 3: do you know? 55 00:03:12,813 --> 00:03:16,093 Speaker 2: For me so I she kind of the voice reminds 56 00:03:16,093 --> 00:03:19,213 Speaker 2: me a little bit of Laura Marling. She does have 57 00:03:19,293 --> 00:03:22,293 Speaker 2: that kind of and you know, given she was doing 58 00:03:22,293 --> 00:03:25,733 Speaker 2: a lot of sing a songwriter stuff, kind of like yes, folky, 59 00:03:26,373 --> 00:03:29,533 Speaker 2: you know, you can kind of see. 60 00:03:28,133 --> 00:03:32,453 Speaker 3: That tonal quality and then that real it's quite a confident, 61 00:03:32,533 --> 00:03:35,853 Speaker 3: grounded sort of voice. Yeah, And I always think it's 62 00:03:35,973 --> 00:03:39,333 Speaker 3: amazing to have established that so young in your career 63 00:03:39,453 --> 00:03:42,213 Speaker 3: and the music that you're making that she's really found that. 64 00:03:42,253 --> 00:03:43,853 Speaker 3: You're right, it is quite similar to that. And then 65 00:03:43,853 --> 00:03:45,413 Speaker 3: if you want to go back even further, you know, 66 00:03:45,453 --> 00:03:48,533 Speaker 3: when like if you hear someone like Shania Twain just 67 00:03:48,573 --> 00:03:51,333 Speaker 3: through some of her acoustics stuff, they have that similar 68 00:03:51,413 --> 00:03:55,533 Speaker 3: kind of quality and sound in their voices again where 69 00:03:55,533 --> 00:03:57,173 Speaker 3: they've just had to really if you've just got your 70 00:03:57,213 --> 00:03:59,333 Speaker 3: guitar in your voice, you kind of really have to 71 00:03:59,413 --> 00:04:02,573 Speaker 3: hone those skills right in that draft and it brings 72 00:04:02,573 --> 00:04:06,253 Speaker 3: that real warmness. Yeah, there's this real warm tonal quality. 73 00:04:06,373 --> 00:04:08,813 Speaker 3: There's a couple of songs where she kind of does 74 00:04:08,893 --> 00:04:12,053 Speaker 3: that weird like it's off key or kind of like 75 00:04:12,053 --> 00:04:15,853 Speaker 3: that minor key sound and amongst these quirky little percussiony bits, 76 00:04:15,853 --> 00:04:20,653 Speaker 3: and it's really clever and just such a super easy 77 00:04:20,733 --> 00:04:24,293 Speaker 3: listen the entire album. It's kind of chill and quiet 78 00:04:24,333 --> 00:04:28,093 Speaker 3: at times, she's not forcing anything out. It's just flowing 79 00:04:28,693 --> 00:04:31,413 Speaker 3: so nice. But it's also an album you could crank 80 00:04:31,493 --> 00:04:33,733 Speaker 3: up and fill the whole house Swiss, and I kind 81 00:04:33,733 --> 00:04:36,893 Speaker 3: of like that, like you could really absorb yourself and 82 00:04:36,973 --> 00:04:39,173 Speaker 3: sink into what she's doing. And I think the big 83 00:04:39,213 --> 00:04:40,893 Speaker 3: credit there is just that she does have such a 84 00:04:40,893 --> 00:04:44,653 Speaker 3: wonderful voice, so whatever else is going on around that, 85 00:04:45,293 --> 00:04:48,933 Speaker 3: you really do fall into her voice quite easy. If 86 00:04:48,973 --> 00:04:50,773 Speaker 3: you really want to get a sense of the full 87 00:04:50,853 --> 00:04:54,853 Speaker 3: jam session sound. The end track is called swing Okay, 88 00:04:55,213 --> 00:04:57,173 Speaker 3: and it really is. It's a great way to end 89 00:04:57,173 --> 00:04:59,613 Speaker 3: the album. It sounds like everyone's just come along with 90 00:04:59,653 --> 00:05:02,773 Speaker 3: whatever they're found in their boots and they're like, let's 91 00:05:02,773 --> 00:05:05,733 Speaker 3: all just put some layers and interesting stuff to this. 92 00:05:06,613 --> 00:05:08,813 Speaker 3: And I really I love that sound. I think that's 93 00:05:08,853 --> 00:05:10,453 Speaker 3: a really cool thing for her to be, like, I 94 00:05:10,533 --> 00:05:11,213 Speaker 3: want to do something. 95 00:05:11,013 --> 00:05:13,373 Speaker 2: A little bit different. Yeah, it might also make. 96 00:05:13,293 --> 00:05:15,133 Speaker 3: You want to go back into her back catalog and 97 00:05:15,173 --> 00:05:17,973 Speaker 3: listen to some of her more folky kind of stuff. 98 00:05:18,053 --> 00:05:21,093 Speaker 3: And yeah, I think this. I've just really and I've 99 00:05:21,133 --> 00:05:23,653 Speaker 3: really loved this album. I like pretty much every song. 100 00:05:23,693 --> 00:05:25,813 Speaker 2: I can't kind of like, yeah, I mean it sounds great. 101 00:05:25,853 --> 00:05:27,773 Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to having to listen to it because 102 00:05:27,773 --> 00:05:30,373 Speaker 2: of what I this morning.
