Liv Greene - Deep Feeler

LIV Greene isn't running from herself anymore. She's pried herself open and let real longing, frustration, and love break free. Deep Feeler, her sophomore album, is a reckoning with reality, a vulnerable snapshot of hard-won self-acceptance. It's feminine, queer, and defiant. It also heralds the arrival of Greene as a powerful new voice who joins the songwriting tradition of Emmylou, Patty, Gillian, and Lucinda - in her own way. Greene self-produced and recorded Deep Feeler live to tape in Nashville's Woodland Sound Studios, with collaborator Matt Andrews (Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings, O Brother Where Art Thou) and a dreamy band of friends including Sarah Jarosz, Dom Billett, Elise Leavy, and Christian Sedelmeyer. The resulting collection of beautiful melodies and folk-rooted storytelling is a bold achievement: a piece of art that matters culturally, musically, and personally.
